Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for joining us today.
I want to go backwards to touch on a few items that have been raised and go a little bit deeper on them.
The first is the question on the limit of hours per week for foreign students. I guess I was a little disappointed to hear that there doesn't appear to be any ongoing or current discussion at IRCC about changing that 20-hour limit. There are a couple of reasons. I don't think it's the role of government to act like a parent to foreign students to protect their study time when they're largely adults and are asking, very articulately and clearly, to have those hours increased so that they can meet the growing cost of education and the cost of living. Also, in the midst of a labour crisis there are people who really need to be hiring, and hiring those students. There are job vacancies, as we've heard.
I just want to put on the record for our committee that I think it would be very appropriate for a finding of this study to include a recommendation to amend that 20-hour limit or to eliminate it entirely.
I don't know if IRCC wants to add anything to that or if I misheard. Is there currently anything going on to look at that figure?
