A COVID lesson is that we can do this. We had a minister who made the executive decision to engage mass extensions of status sent by email to particular individuals. That's the way to do it.
Why not do it? It's enforcement, the danger of someone committing a bad act in Canada and the political responsibility that goes with it. I think you're absolutely right. It is a lesson learned, and we should be going down that path of mass extensions electronically delivered, particularly now and particularly for students.
One fast point is that it's the foreign student who is the mortgage helper for families across this land. It's the foreign student who contributes to the local economies, these small and medium-sized businesses, and works in places like restaurants. They are our future pool of human capital. We have to take better care of them.
