We have the best program in the world. This is an improvement on that. One can improve it depending on who we want in—that's a key question—and when.
For example, if in the construction industry we feel a need for a particular trade, we can act smartly by sending, proactively, information notices to the educational institution of the trade. Grab the young people. Or, for example, as we're already doing now in the construction industry, we can be sending notices under the young workers or the working holiday visa program in Germany, alerting the training institutes for certain trades that they can come to Canada for a year and function in their trade or occupation. It's that type of nimbleness that is worthwhile.
To conclude, the reason I am not dead set against the expression of interest system and I'm willing to defer, respectfully, to our public servants and their oversight masters is the track record of the improvements to this immigration program over the past half-decade and longer. I would never have done that years earlier. But having resolved backlogs, having taken other areas of the program, such as the refugee determination system, and made it into a functioning system—benefit of the doubt, from a jaded old fellow, for the new expression of interest system.
