The attractiveness of articling vs. industry isn't a big play in the size of the membership; CA firms already hire as many students as they can, trust me; there is only so much audit/accounting work out there. If CA firms doubled the number of students coming in, they would just have a bunch of bums hanging around the office all day causing havok.
If they're looking for higher membership, they could just increase the UFE pass rate, which would directly correspond to more members who have been through the full articling process. But again, that too presents its own problems.
