Mr. Speaker, it is ridiculous that the government will not tell us how many people are currently affected by this law and will obtain citizenship. Worse still, after this bill passes, the government does not want to tell us how many people will be affected year after year. The government is allergic to accountability, no matter what the issue is. It is the opposite of Midas, who turns everything he touches into gold. The government turns everything into a word I will not say.
This government has a real problem with being accountable to the people. No one understands why, since it is the government's duty to be accountable to the public. Every time the government is asked for a report or accountability, it buries its head in the sand like an ostrich. This government is truly shameful when it comes to being accountable to the people.
