Mr. Speaker, as I said, international students make an important contribution to Canada. We have heard that loud and clear. That is why we started extending expired and expiring post-graduate work permits. As a result, nearly 100,000 international graduates have been able to continue working across the country. We also scrapped the 20-hour work week cap, and nearly 500,000 international students have been able to work off campus while studying. Canada is, and always will be, a destination of choice.
