Well, I agree with you that the system has to be changed. I'd have to think about whether the idea you proposed would be the best solution. You have to recall that when we had that type of system years ago, the backlogs got to be so huge that people would file their sponsorship and it would take two years for them to be processed, and then another four or five years for the parents' applications to be processed overseas, so there was delay built into the system.
Let me just say that there are better ways of doing it. As Mr. Sharma suggested, there are ways of doing weighted lotteries. There are also other things that could be done. We have to be creative, because the reality is that there's more of a demand for parents and grandparents to be sponsored than there are spaces in the system. There are other options. For example, we could create special types of visas. We could create a special work permit type of visa for parents to come to Canada to take care of their grandchildren, which would allow them to get into the health care system and allow them to be here but not be permanent residents. We have to be creative in finding solutions that allow us to get our parents and grandparents into Canada but without that filling the whole immigration quotas.
I agree with you that it's a problem. I don't think what the government did was right. It was disappointing. They should have come up with some more innovative solutions. Hopefully, next year, they will.
