The focus of our brief that we have submitted to you today, and the remarks we are going to make, is on the selection of immigrants overseas by Canadian visa posts, and specifically as it relates to the selection of the category of immigrants known as skilled workers. This group, numbering over 100,000 a year, accounts for over half of Canada's overall immigration intake. We should point out that while our organization was one of several canvassed extensively by the Department of Citizenship and Immigration over the last few years, the features of the regulations to which we most object are matters on which, to the best of our knowledge, there was no prior consultation by the department.
