Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
My question is for Mr. Worswick.
As you know, last month our government introduced a reduction in permanent resident numbers and published population targets for temporary migrants for the first time. In a Globe and Mail news article you recently wrote, you described these changes as a “sensible response to the evolving immigration and macroeconomic situation in Canada.”
Could you elaborate for this committee on your views on these recent changes, as well as changes made earlier this year to Canada's international student program?
Could you also expand on what your recommendations would be for the federal government to consider, to ensure integrity in the system?
