Mr. Speaker, I want to assure the member that the first I heard about this was when I read about it in the newspaper. It is federal government policy that immigrant children should not be charged the right of landing fee.
Furthermore, once the new citizenship bill is passed, foreign-born children who are lucky enough to be adopted by Canadian parents will enter Canada as citizens.
Furthermore, I guess I would have to say that first Premier Harris picked on welfare moms, then squeegee kids and now it is foreign orphans. I hope he will reconsider this policy.
