Madam Speaker, I know that the member is an expert in this chamber on the area of immigration issues. I know he had not quite fleshed out all of his ideas on the subject, so I want to give him an opportunity to explain a little more about the open-ended work permit and other points that he had.
In addition, I had been wanting to ask the government members about the status of the matching funds program. There is one member coming up who will probably have all the answers I am looking for. Perhaps the member who just spoke knows a little about how much was collected and how that whole system has evolved and is working.
