Thank you, Madam Chair.
What I will do, if I can have the indulgence of the witnesses, is ask some questions and then get quick answers so I can ask you more questions. I've lots, so bear with me.
Madam Strickland, one of the things that were discussed here before with previous witnesses was the idea of providing visas. In your presentation you talked about a visa for those women who've come here as sex workers or dancers, or what have you, that would allow them to stay once they're here. My question to you is broader than that.
If we were to review our whole immigration process and actually allow and change the requirement for visas for people who come to work...because the root cause is economic. Women come to Canada for economic reasons, and they take whatever route they can, because the current point system really makes it difficult for them to enter the country. I'm wondering if you could, in addition to the visa for those who are already here, instead of deporting them, provide additional programs and services. I'm assuming that you're saying we do not deport them. In terms of our point system, have you looked at all at the whole immigration structure and how it allows people to come in who need economic help?
