One of the earlier gentlemen said that we have to increase immigration and make it easier for people to come to Canada. I couldn't agree more with that gentleman, but there's a problem that happens with the second generation. The people who immigrate to Canada are skilled tradespeople. They have all kinds of skills and brains. They don't want their kids to be skilled people or tradespeople. They want their kids to be lawyers and doctors and so on. So what happens is the second generation from these people end up not having any skills, so we have to start looking at growing skills within Canada so that these people can carry the traditions on.
