Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm sorry for the votes. It's just the nature of the job.
I'll try to share my time with Mr. Whalen, if I can quickly get through this.
Thank you for being here. My first question is for Mr. Montoya.
From your testimony, and with the committee going on, we hear a lot of witnesses saying that this is a two-class system. We heard from witnesses who have been here on temporary residence. They have contributed so much to Canada and paid their taxes. They feel they're good enough to be here, but maybe extended family members are not. They feel that Canada welcomes them to come and work; however, after their work is done, they are asked to leave. They feel that they are being discriminated against.
Mr. Montoya, in your testimony you mentioned the contributions that you, your wife, and your children have made to Canada. How do you feel this is discriminatory between temporary residents and permanent residents?
