Thank you, Madam Chair.
My first question will be for Mr. Johnstone.
Canada's immigration system is under constant development to ensure that it is as responsive as possible to the ever-changing domestic and international landscape. Labour market trends show that immigration is fundamentally tied to the growth of our populations and the resiliency of our workforce.
Pilots like the municipal nominee program and rural and northern immigration pilot have been introduced in the immigration system to decentralize immigration from large cities and also to provide stability for workers. Providing immigration certainty for workers and minimizing their exposure to potential exploitation is extremely important.
Do you consider economic PR pathways to be the right direction for the government to continue on, and what are some of the policy changes you would like to see to further this goal?
