Thank you, Madam Chair.
To give some context, I know the Conservatives put forward a motion in this committee as well to say that legislation is to take precedence over all other issues in this committee. The fact that we couldn't get to this issue until now in the committee, I believe, was due to the committee deciding that legislation, the clause-by-clause we were going through, was very important.
I want to thank you, Minister, for listening carefully and coming up with a solution that is a balanced approach, because we were hearing some unbalanced ideas, like the NDP saying that blanket PRs should be given to everyone, and like the Conservatives saying that quick decisions should be made in haste, where I do believe you would not be able to accurately distinguish the good actors from the bad actors. We do want to do that, because we want to keep our immigration system's integrity. I think this solution will get us there.
The other thing is that I've been working on many different student issues for many years. I've also written to the ministers provincially responsible for schools in the various provinces, and particularly I've written to the one in Ontario. We're seeing a growing problem in Ontario with many new colleges popping up that I've never heard of, which don't have adequate space or teaching facilities and which are taking in large numbers of students. Our federal government has to comply with these lists of designated learning institutions, or DLIs, that are provided by the province.
I want to know if you have any comments that you can make as to the responsibility that the provinces also have in fixing this larger problem that we're beginning to see.
