00:00:00.000 Express Entry is kind of a broad pool, okay, that they try to make that, and it gets a bit twisted where if you say, look, we want people, when the reason for the categories being selected is not being selected for the economic benefit of Canada, which the department can do along with the politicians, you end up with something like the French language category, which is now 48% of the whole total.
