Mr. Speaker, not only was Don Devoretz an invited guest at our two-day conference, he was also a member of a working group. We looked very seriously at the work that he has been able to generate in British Columbia. He is certainly a leading advocate in terms of some of the economic ties with immigration.
It should also be noted that he said very clearly that immigration helps this country and that when one looks at the tax system, and these are his words, immigrants have paid more into the tax system than they have taken in social benefits.
When we reflect on some of the things that he has said, we can adjust this to everything he has said.
