Mr. Speaker, the NDP's position is very bizarre.
They want to double the number of immigrants we allow into Canada, yet they are against our efforts to reform the system and attract the people who would be best prepared to succeed in our economy.
Our promotional efforts in California were very successful. We received tens of thousands of dollars in free publicity from the American media, and there are very competent entrepreneurs who can come to Canada to create businesses, jobs and economic opportunities for Canadians.
