Mr. Speaker, I have enjoyed the debate this evening. It is quite robust.
Bill C-24 speaks to eliminating fraud within the system.
I am proud to say that my riding of Cambridge-North Dumfries has the largest Portuguese community in all of Canada. When I speak to these folks in the Portuguese community, they tell me they are very proud to be Canadians and they are proud of the ethical process that they went through to become hard-working citizens. My first job was on an asphalt crew with a bunch of Portuguese men who were a great influence in my life.
My feeling on the bill is that it works toward preventing fraud in the system, which these hard-working new Canadians want to see happen.
My question for the member is this. Should we not improve this system to enforce and improve the integrity of the system to deal with those who are committing fraud within the system?
