Madam Speaker, I attribute Manitoba's success in good part to the provincial nominee program developed in 1998 or 1999 by then prime minister Jean Chrétien, which has been hugely successful.
We have seen that this government is one that believes in consultations and working with the different stakeholders, including provinces like Manitoba or communities like Saint Boniface, Manitoba. Whether large or small communities, we have a government that is prepared to sit down and work on the smaller details to ensure that immigration reflects the needs of the community as much as possible while at the same time addressing the bigger picture of demonstrating leadership on issues such as refugees.
