Mr. Speaker, I want to go back to the question that was just asked.
It is interesting; there was a committee report that came out when the Conservatives were in government. The CIMM committee report done at the time of the Harper government made this recommendation: “Background checks are only appropriate for candidates seeking a grant of citizenship as opposed to those for whom citizenship is a birthright.” The current debate is on birthright citizenship, so the Conservative Party has forgotten about that part, even though the leader of the Conservative Party was around at that time, and it has taken the reverse position.
I wonder if the member would agree that the Conservative Party needs to be more consistent with public policy.
