Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I want to refocus what we're actually speaking about today. We had a motion that was adopted by this committee, and we're here to talk about the strategies to attract global talent in order to make our immigration policies help build the country and support the Canadian economy. I know you're getting a lot of questions that relate to ESDC, which are completely not in your purview. I thank you for entertaining those questions, although I'm sure they should be redirected to ESDC directly instead of to you.
To focus on some of what we've heard already, there have been some comments brought forth about lobbying as it relates to immigration policies, in particular to grad students and our policies regarding grad students. Could you flesh out a little bit how you actually make decisions when it comes to policies relating to grad students and immigration?
Is lobbying the only input that you're taking in, or are there other inputs when you create those policies?
