Mr. Speaker, Canadians asked us for a more fair system, a system that would treat everyone on a first-come, first-served basis.
We have quadrupled the number of spots available for permanent residents and Canadians to sponsor parents and grandparents, from 5,000 to 20,000. We have slashed the wait times. It used to take seven to eight years to sponsor parents and grandparents.
We have listened to Canadians, and we continue to improve the program. We are proud of our record, and we will continue to reunite families.
