Mr. Speaker, the only motivation I can see, and the minister could answer this, is ideological.
I want to share a personal story. I came to this country in 1980 and I hardly spoke a word of English, yet I am a very proud Canadian today to be standing in the House. My mother was 50 years old when she came to this country and she hardly spoke any English, yet today she is a proud Canadian and a proud Canadian of a member of Parliament.
I do not see why we need to expand what is already there. I only see ideological reasons, which the Conservatives try to feed to their base.
