The students who come to Manitoba have student visas. After earning their degrees, they are virtually ready to be hired. It is easier to go looking for immigrants and to increase the rate if those people have been trained at Canadian schools and have Canadian diplomas. We don't need adjustment programs; they have already adjusted. They know what snow is and so on.
Once that's the way it is, most of the students who come to Manitoba, I believe, opt for professional training such as business administration, for example. Many students study business administration and, increasingly, nursing, because that immediately leads to jobs. Some sectors are very productive and their job market is expanding. These people have no trouble finding work.
I'd like to talk about another aspect that I touched on very briefly. We should also have programs for immigrants, not just refugees, but also for those who have gone through camps, who have been away from school for a very long time and have never been able to complete secondary school. They should be granted support to complete secondary school and to attend professional schools or university.
The learning centre I just talked about started with 13 or 14 students. It now has nearly 150 students. We no longer know where to put all these people and we need support. We are using classrooms at a secondary college. When there are parent-teacher meetings, classes are suspended until they're over. They need space. This program is working very well. It is taken not only by immigrants, but also by Canadians who haven't completed high school.
I think that's how we can prepare people. We shouldn't think that everyone has to have a bachelor's degree or a master's degree. There are also trades, plumbers and carpenters that aren't trained. These are fields that could be of interest to quite a lot of people because a lot of people are manually inclined. This is a component we should not neglect in integration, having regard to the expansion in these regions.
