Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech.
I immigrated to Canada with my family in 1985. My wife is also an immigrant. She arrived from Singapore in 1990.
As the member knows, reducing the number of days that a person must be physically present in Canada before applying for citizenship and taking that into account does not really have anything to do with diversity. Diversity does not begin at four years or three years or six years. It is the Canadian experience. We experience it every day.
Would the member like to comment on that? What sense does it make to go from four out of six years to three out of five years?
