Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Minister, and staff for attending.
Immigration is probably one of the greatest hallmarks of Canada's history in our nation-building and how we've evolved and where we are today.
Minister, you spoke about Bill C-24, strengthening Canadian citizenship act. We know that the Liberals had 13 long comfortable years to reform the Citizenship Act, but they didn't do it. That's why our government set out to make the first comprehensive reform to the Citizenship Act in 35 years; that's since 1977.
