Sir, we have a broken immigration system, with 920,000 people on the waiting list. It's broken. That's why changes are needed. But you would really have to convince me that there is something wrong with our officers when Canada is the multicultural model of the world. Toronto has representatives of some 150 nations or more living in the city of Toronto. You're almost indicating that you feel somehow it's endemic within Immigration Canada that people harbour these kinds of sentiments about cultural communities, and we're therefore discriminating against cultural communities. I would argue that in Canada there is no evidence of that. If there is an individual who does harbour this kind of feeling within them, then they should be outed.
