Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for their wisdom and for enlightening us with their views.
My question is for both Andrew and Paul.
I arrived here 47 years ago yesterday. I came to an absolutely white Canada. The immigrants have done very well, and so has Canada. I'm not sure what the voters said at that time, though I even heard the words, “Immigrants, go home,” or whatever the whole thing is.
The whole thing has changed. Most of the people who came to the country have done very well. They're willing to work hard. They're willing to do anything and everything. The cities have done very well with the new immigrants. We need to move the same thing to rural Canada, rural Alberta, rural whatever.
What can be done? We can bring the people in, but how can you keep those people in rural Alberta, rural Canada?
Either of you can tell us your opinion.
