Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good evening once again, Mr. Corbeil. We have met several times in the past, on this very committee.

In your address, you said right at the outset that immigration was the main driver of growth. Is the fact that immigration has been the main driver of growth in the country something new, or has it always been like that?
