Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, colleagues.
Professor Worswick, I want to share with you why this is of particular interest to me. When the temporary resident population went from 786,000 to three million, you called that “going off the rails”. In my community, there's a college that has raised their population of international students from 760 and some to over 30,000 within a decade. That has had significant impacts on my community. You spoke about the ability to absorb. The ability of my community to absorb that population growth has been challenged.
Over a year ago I put forward a number of measures that I was able to work with the minister on. Four of them have been put forward, but a number haven't, and I'm looking to continue to build support for these. I'd like to put one of those to you, which is that, for designated learning institutions that have more than 15% of international students who never actually enrol in a course, there would be, maybe, a limiting of visas from IRCC to those DLIs. That's something a number of countries around the world have already done, but Canada hasn't yet. Is that something that's on your radar already, and is there a comment you'd like to share with the committee on a proposal like that?
