Okay. Let me give you some facts and figures, sir, and after that I'll let you decide.
After the Conservatives took office, immigration processing times out of Beijing went up by 48% the first year. That means, if it took one year to process a spousal application before 2006, it took a year and a half in 2006. In 2007 it went up by an additional 17%. A spousal application that used to take six to eight months is taking a year and a half to two years right now. This is out of Beijing, sir. This is the community that, mostly, you're representing to come to Canada. This is processing applications out of Beijing. People just sort of said “You know what? It's taking even longer with these guys. We're not going to apply any more.” It went down by 41%. So people are just not applying to come to Canada because they know it's taking even longer and longer. If you were to go to the embassy in Beijing, God help you.
You're stating that you won't be supporting them tomorrow should there be a race issue. Well, the minister has the right to say we're not going to be accepting people in from that particular part of the world.
Even the minister is on record today as saying that half the Chinese and half the Indian population can qualify to come to Canada. She said that, sir, in the last couple of days.
I want your views. Do you still support what this minister is doing?
