All right.
What I'm trying to say is that this is a community we've really reached out to in order to help. I'm saying maybe one of these people might have asked me that, because we made a huge effort. There were Haitians admitted into Canada because of the earthquake back in 2010, and a number of them were undocumented, and we went out of our way to reach out to that community to encourage them to come forward.
I had a press conference in the Haitian part of Montreal with my colleague, the member from Bourassa, who is Haitian, along with the Quebec immigration minister, and we spoke to Haitian radio stations. Our friend went to Haitian churches to really appeal to the people to come forward. We had a simplified form. We even had a special loan that they could take, because we wanted them to come forward so they could become regularized as Canadians.
Now, I'll be honest with you. Not as many came forward as we were hoping, notwithstanding these appeals. I don't know whether it was because we didn't reach them all or we didn't know exactly how many there were, because if they're undocumented, we don't know for sure the exact number.
All I can say to you is that we did everything that we could conceive of to try to appeal to these people to come forward so that we could welcome them as permanent residents, given that they had come here under the special circumstances of the earthquake.
