I quite appreciate your question, which is entirely relevant. Immigration isn't the main cause. That's quite clear from our research, which I talked about earlier. Fertility, or low fertility rates—I should say—are the primary cause.
I believe it was Ms. Ashton who spoke earlier about the heavy demands being placed on women. I quite liked what she said. Just imagine adopting a policy that is meant to boost the birth rate or fertility rate. It's an insult to women to offer them money to have babies. The percentage of women of child-bearing age is very low. Every year in Quebec, only a few hundred thousand of them actually have children. Ethically and socially speaking, it's nearly impossible to introduce a measure like that.
The problem can't be fixed by targeting fertility rates, and the immigration impact is marginal. Those statements do not speak to a particular mindset. When making forecasts, Statistics Canada is not adopting a given attitude, and neither am I. We are making observations—that's all.
