Not only do we have 1,900 people, but our city is growing by about 13,000 to 15,000 people a year. We're not keeping up, despite all of our best efforts. We can't build houses that fast in Saskatoon, we haven't built extra hospitals and we haven't built extra schools to accommodate them all. Everything is overflowing.
Thank you, sir. You're from my city. You can see, and I suppose your colleagues can't, the impact in Saskatoon. We have people wandering the streets looking for a place to stay, and it's not because Saskatoon's not a compassionate city. We're doing everything we can to accommodate the needs of these people, but, frankly, there are just too many who have these needs for the size of our city.
To think about adding a significant influx, population-wise, to that specific demographic would be very troublesome for us.
