Dr. Brunner said something that I had been looking for since the beginning of the study, which is that a domino effect happens without consultation. After we've gone through all of the study, that's sort of the phrase I think is pertinent to where we are.
Has the PBO, for example, costed out the impact of sudden changes or, as our Prime Minister likes to say, this rupture? It is a fundamental rupture in the way the immigration system has been changed suddenly, which has had a huge impact on post-secondary institutions. Has the PBO calculated the cost to the federal government outside of just the immigration program, perhaps to CBSA or to IRCC, on the long-term impact of the changes to this program? Has it been costed out at all?
