There has been some really interesting debate, and it illustrates the fact that a bigger conversation about immigration is required. There are some complicated issues here. I think there are some limitations to an approach to economic migration that is simply based on maximizing earnings.
I think about our health care system—in British Columbia and, I think, across the country—in which one-quarter of health care workers across the country, I believe, are foreign-trained or born overseas. When you think about the average per capita salary of Canadians, as well as care aide and home support workers and the shortage we have in those groups, raising those wages is not a practical solution. Raising wages is not a practical solution to demographics and population projections. You can offer to pay people as much as you want, but if population—the working population—is declining, then we have a demographic problem. I appreciate the economic arguments and the theories the professor is putting forward, and I think they have a place, but I don't think it's the entire equation.
