Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Graham, in the last year, per the lobbying registry, Universities Canada, the U15 and multiple other universities repeatedly met with your former boss, who is now the associate deputy minister of economic programs. After this lobbying, in this year's immigration levels plan, there's now no limit on how many graduate students universities can bring into Canada. There's also no longer a requirement for an attestation letter from the provinces, and even though the Auditor General recently found rampant gaps in your screening, your department has reduced processing times for some of these permits down to 14 days. All of this happened in the middle of a massive youth unemployment crisis.
Why did you create a full exemption for public university graduate students from the study permit cap rather than simply slot them into overall allocations, which still include diploma mills that are rife with abuse?
