All right.
On the issue around immigration streams, do you have a breakdown of the economic class based on professions that have received permanent residence status in Canada over the last 10 years?
Assistant Deputy Minister, Operations, Department of Citizenship and Immigration
I'll have to go back. We do have information about economic...not specifically which are the different categories.

This brings us to the end of this meeting.
Thanks a lot to our officials for coming before the committee today. We look forward to the information that you have committed to provide to the committee.
Before we adjourn the meeting, I want to remind all members that the deadline to provide their witness lists to the clerk for the study on economic immigration and the labour shortage is Friday, February 28, by 5 p.m. The official breakdown has been provided by the clerk.
Yes, Ms. Kwan.

Before we adjourn, Madam Chair, we didn't quite finish dealing with all of the motions from our last meeting. I'm just wondering if we will have another opportunity to deal with those at the committee or if we have to try to find the opportunity on our own.

We can either hold a subcommittee meeting or have committee business at the other meeting. I will work it out and let you know.

Just as one last point, Madam Chair, I'm somebody who has a big problem dealing with paper. I would appreciate it if digital files like this could be provided to our web binder, if possible.

To continue in the same vein, would it be possible to obtain these documents in advance? In some cases, we may need to be replaced and questions will need to be prepared for the person who will be replacing us. If we have no idea what is going to happen at committee, what issues are going to be addressed, who the witnesses are going to be and so on, it makes it a little more complicated. So I'm asking for that, if that's possible.
