Mr. Speaker, over the last eight months this party has put in motion an unprecedented consultation process with Canadians, the very grassroots, which is what the hon. member suggests we did not do.
In fact the hon. member told our departmental officials at the two-day conference how impressed he was with the breadth of the consultation process. I challenge the member to deny that.
Not only are we putting in train, putting in the one room the individuals who accentuate one particular line, but when was the last time a minister of a government invited the Immigration Association of Canada to participate so that government could have the purview of Canadian public opinion?
Before November 1 this government will table those levels. I know the levels will be in the best interests of Canada and not in the best interests of the Reform Party.
