I want to move back now for just a moment and focus again on the solution to this problem of chain immigration... we cannot afford to continue to do this. We have a solution. But Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to call my colleagues' attention to this next slide, and again, it depicts on this scale of justice, as we have here in the middle of this slide, on the one side you have an imbalance, too much emphasis, too much weight in regard to the second cousin of an immigrant, i.e., chain migration. On the other side, however, not weighing so heavily in this scale of this balance of justice is the skilled laborer waiting to emigrate into this country. This is what this hour is mainly about, Mr. Speaker, that we need to correct this.
