Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Madam Minister, first, I have an apology. You would think that someone who opened their questioning by saying they don't understand a lot about immigration would have stuck to questioning rather than petty partisanship; they might have learned something about immigration. Unfortunately, we do see that at this committee from time to time from that individual.
In terms of history in Canada, we are all relative newcomers to this country, so we understand the value of immigration. We understand the very real contributions immigrants have made to Canadian society. With that in mind, could you please share with us more details with respect to how the proposed legislative changes in part 6 are crucial to the ongoing future success of Canada's economy and to immigrants to Canada?
