I have a few comments, Chair.
First of all, through you, Chair, my colleague mentioned that he had never heard of this before. I would advise him and his staff to perhaps become aware of the processes that we have in place through the clerk on notices of motion. He might want to become acquainted with that.
In terms of it being a waste of time for the opposition to do their job and hold the ministers to account and ask for studies on things like screening processes, I think there would be many Canadians who would take offence to that.
In terms of waiting lists, for the parents and grandparents program, in 2006, the Conservative government at the time inherited a waiting list of 100,000 cases. We put in place the super visa program and limited the number of spaces on a no-hope waiting list. When the Prime Minister came into office, Chair, the number of cases, I believe, that were on the waiting list had been reduced to about 25,000 or 26,000.
What this government has done is increase the number of spots on a no-hope waiting list, and a waiting list is not the same as access to the country.
