The fact is, sir, that I've stated in the House the facts I've told you. The parliamentary secretary was there; he didn't contradict them. The facts are that processing times out of Beijing have gone up. The facts are that for Beijing the rejection rate for visitor visas has gone up. And the fact is that the minister, on TV, on public record, said half of China can qualify to come into Canada.
On May 12th, 2008. See this statement in context.
