Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the officials for being with us to answer our questions.
I would like to focus on the testimony we heard from the representatives of Ubisoft recently. Ubisoft is the largest player in terms of jobs in Canada in this sector. I would remind you that that company lost a quarter of its value on the stock market after it was announced that one of their two major games, Watch Dogs, developed in Montreal, was being postponed. This demonstrates how their inability to hire qualified workers for specific projects can lead to significant consequences.
One surprising problem that Ubisoft told us about was that Canadian workers sent abroad to Ubisoft development centres in Ukraine, France or elsewhere, would come back to Canada to work for Ubisoft, but their spouses and children would only have visitors' visas. So they were unable to study, work or obtain medical coverage.
What would the Department of Citizenship and Immigration propose to solve this problem, which can prevent the development of specific projects?
