I just want to go on the record opposing the fee hike, which, as we understand it, is going to double the fee from $200 to $400. That's a significant increase. We see it as a tax on new Canadians. People have already had extremely long and growing wait times under this government. It's a concern that the fee hike will seriously damage our credibility, and we don't believe it's necessary.
