Thank you for giving me this opportunity again to explain. I have two specific, very practical ideas that can be implemented without having additional costs for us.
Number one, it sometimes happens that there is a message within a community or in a country that Canada is open—you can go there, you can cheat, you can have your medical done, which may or may not be 100% on par with what is required, you can go to a lab, or maybe send somebody else there. We try our best, but we lose control because a large number of applicants apply. We want to make sure we have the applicants who want to come, who are honourable, and whose health status and security status are good. Those things can be done only if there is a strong, decisive, clear message to the countries of a region.
In my view, this has been lacking for a period of time. Now I think probably for the last couple of years, we have been seeing the result. More recently, I think some of Mr. Kenney's actions have been very effective. Some of the members of the community may be upset, but I think we are sending a strong and clear message.
There are a few other things I would like to say. I might not be able to say those things openly, but probably someone could call me and we could explain those to them. Just for my own physical well-being and within my own part of the community where I can be open and honest about it, I still need to make sure I convey a message that is in line with our values and our system. This is coming from someone who has been here for 31 years. I have worked very hard. When we see that some of the people who are coming are not on par with our Canadian values, it just upsets us. We are part of the silent majority.
