I would like to tell you that all's well with the world.
In terms of immigration, as we have said, we need a coordinated strategy, a federal strategy developed in consultation with the communities, municipalities and provinces. We think all stakeholders need to participate, but we don’t need a Band-Aid here and a Band-Aid there to cover up any cuts or scrapes. We really need a strategy, but it has to be coordinated.
You know, the immigration continuum starts with promoting our communities. Afterwards, we can look at recruitment, at everything settlement-related, and so on. Unfortunately, all those steps have been skipped. We feel that with express entry, by making us go through the same funnel as everyone else, without promoting the communities at all, we will not be able to produce the miracles we haven’t been able to produce so far with an almost similar approach. In this case, we are all going through the same funnel. That will change nothing for us compared to the current system.
