Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to my hon. colleague's proposal. I have a couple of questions for her.
Has this been costed out? What would this cost the treasury?
Also, she says this is such a wonderful idea, but the Liberals say the current law violates the charter. The law was ruled constitutional when the Liberals themselves fought to uphold it. I am interested in why there is this turnabout. It is simply a ploy to try to get immigrant votes on something they voted against before?
