Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Finance committee I would be delighted to expand on that. A few years ago, we worked with the government and the minister of immigration at the time to create what's called a bridge program. Effectively what this does is it supports new Canadians who arrive and can have a somewhat random experience in terms of where they end up working, whether they end up working and how quickly that process happens.

Finance committee We work with a partner, Tourism HR Canada, and we already have all the infrastructure set up. We have relationships with all the settlement agencies. There's an intake process. When new Canadians arrive, we would do an assessment of their skills and we would be able to easily place them into a variety of work.

Finance committee Exactly. It doesn't discriminate. It can be anybody who comes, regardless of their skill level.

Finance committee We're very pleased to see that funding in there. It's $158 million in total—$108 million to the regional development agencies, which will support local regional tourism development, and $50 million to support business events. As you may know, business events.... We were closed for a period of time in Canada.
