Madam Speaker, this is by way of a comment because I really cannot let some of hon. member's comments go unanswered.
With the greatest of respect to the hon. member and his background in immigration, his lack of comprehension of the policies of the finance minister and the minister of immigration and our policy initiatives which have taken place during the last several weeks is tragic.
The idea that the department of immigration would not reduce its moneys is simply ludicrous. Of course it will. We all have to. Every single person in this country has to make a sacrifice to ensure that the country will continue and that the institutions of this country will continue to serve all Canadians.
