Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech and the excellent work he does.
I would like to talk about the previous government's experience.
We have heard so much misinformation from the other side about the government's record. We know that under our government, we had the highest sustained immigration levels in this country's history. We also demonstrated a strong respect for diversity. When we were in government, we had the most diverse caucus at that time in Canadian history. Yet the government is running away from talking about the provisions of the bill and simply wants to repeat over and over again the importance of diversity, which is not a subject on which we disagree.
Could the member highlight our record in government and why it is important that diversity be attached as well to common, shared values?
