We don't necessarily give them the right to stay afterwards. Many leave. For retention purposes, there's a whole complex process and you have to go through Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

The Vice-Chair Liberal Mauril Bélanger

All that's left is for me to thank you. Mr. Houle, I wanted to thank you for your active listening, but I also thank you for your answer and your attention. Mr. Corbeil and Mr. Houle, thank you very much for being here this morning and for the information you've given us for the purpose of undertaking what appears to be quite an interesting study. We'll see where it leads us.

We'll take two minutes to say hello to our witnesses and the steering committee will come back briefly to establish the agenda for future meetings.

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
