Mr. Speaker, the member made reference to the need for skilled workers in the province of Ontario. That is not new. I hear it quite often from my Ontario colleagues in the Liberal caucus who are really concerned about the skilled jobs that have not been filled and remain vacant.
There is the provincial nominee program. It is believed that by better utilizing that program and having Ottawa provide more certificates to the province of Ontario, it would better ensure that immigrants coming to Ontario would get some of those skilled jobs. However, that is only one important aspect.
We also acknowledge the importance of ensuring that Canadians, first and foremost, are filling jobs and that educational facilities are provided, whether they are of a provincial nature, in the private sector or those to which Ottawa contributes. Filling those jobs is important. However, specifically with regard to the provincial nominee program, does he believe the province of Ontario should be issued more certificates, something the province itself would like to see?
