Thank you.
We have inverted pyramids in rural Alberta. Without even looking at the statistics, I will tell you that our small towns—and any town that's under the size of 5,000—are a pyramid. You have larger aged population and the opportunities for the youth....
One of our conversations always is that we want our kids to stay home. In order for our kids to stay home, we want to look at opportunity. What comes with that, too—and the immigration conversation is interesting—is it actually pulls in that investment. It starts to regrow these communities. I've seen communities die all throughout rural Alberta. At the same time, I've seen communities grow. The ones that grow really start to look at that whole conversation: We need to attract, invest and look for opportunity.
If you look for opportunity for us keeping our kids home, it's the same opportunity and the same conversation to attract immigrants to rural Alberta. It's the same package and the same conversation. It's the same set of services, supports and opportunities, as well.
