Yes. Thank you for the opportunity.
The levels plan process today takes in a lot of feedback, but we're hearing conversations across communities and across different sectors that a longer-term, cross-government process could be considered, one that is—and you've heard this from other witnesses at other meetings as well—coordinating the line across government, not just IRCC, the different immigration streams are complementary in alignment and there's a more structured and influential whole-of-society input into levels planning.
Right now, there is extensive consultation done by IRCC, but it's not a whole-of-government or a whole-of-society process. What we see in the coverage and the communication of the levels plan is that it's frequently reduced to two numbers. One of the recommendations in our “the Canada we believe in” initiative sets much clearer strategic objectives for different economic, humanitarian and other streams of immigration.
