Mr. Speaker, my colleague spoke about reunification of families and moving families faster.
I want to ask my colleague a question. After the tsunami, a protocol was set by the Liberal government so that that family-class applications, those who had passed medical and police clearance, were to be fast-tracked and brought to Canada. I remember being in Colombo at the time when the Prime Minister visited, and there were 13 extra officers there to expedite the cases of the families. Right now it is quite the opposite: if a person is a Tamil, it takes three years.
I wonder if my colleague would agree me and if he would say a little more about how we could put more personnel there in order to move these files and get the people out of the war zone to be with their loved ones in Canada.
