I think they have to. One of the recommendations from that report—and I read it in great detail—is recommendation 35, which says, “That Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada gather data on the economic contribution to the family unit of the sponsored parents and/or grandparents who take care of children.” I don't know if that was done. It was a recommendation. I do think that it should be done.
The economic contribution of parents and grandparents to this country is enormous and we should 100% be looking at that. That's not to mention, as I keep going on about, that the cultural and social aspect is equally, critically important. When our parents would come to stay with me, my brother and I would often joke that when parents visit they should stay about the amount of time that it takes for fish to start not smelling good in your refrigerator.
But that's not the experience with so many communities in this country. They want their parents and grandparents here. They have multi-generational homes that add so much to the fabric of that family and the fabric of our country. That should be just as important as the economic aspect, because we want healthy families and healthy communities.
