We got ourselves into a mess. How we're going to get out of it is going to be very difficult.
I don't know what the right and optimal number is, but what we're doing here is the beginning of something that should take place every year. We need to ask both people who are employers who want more workers and those who understand that every time you bring a family of five from a Middle East country, they will put a burden on housing, hospitals and everything that government provides for free, and will impose a burden on the average Canadian, whom, in effect, we ask through our burden to subsidize the people who hire these workers. We need to have a discussion and to have a trade-off between these two benefits.
