Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question.
As I was trying to say earlier in my speech, of course citizenship and the act of immigration are intricately linked.
Individuals who come to our country through the immigration system are the individuals who end up becoming citizens of this country. That is how Canada was built. Canada was built on the positive force of immigration, people coming from other countries to settle here and build this great country.
I am a bit surprised that members of the government do not see that link. They are linked in such a way that I do not think it needs explaining, but obviously it does to the members of the government.
