Mr. Speaker, when we are dealing with Bill C-63 we are dealing with an act of citizenship.
I might point out for the member opposite that it deals with all Canadian citizens and there are 28 million plus Canadian citizens in this country.
I personally and on behalf of the government take great exception to having opposition members stand in their place day after day attacking immigrants and attacking refugees. They say that they are only dealing with a small percentage. But the fact of the matter is if one is to examine everything the Reform Party has said about immigrants and refugees, it is making links to criminality.
I came to this country as a refugee. There are many refugees in this country who became citizens. I tell the members of the Reform Party that you will not get support from new Canadians when you continuously attack and smear them.
