Madam Speaker, I do remember that there was an explosion of international students coming into Canada, but it was not because of the actions the Liberal government had taken. We have to take into consideration things such as what the leader of the Conservative Party did in 2014. We also have to take into consideration what provinces like Ontario and B.C. did in terms of the expansion of private post-secondary schools.
The demand for international students exploded. Yes, it would have been nice to have recognized it a couple of years earlier, but we also have to put it in the perspective of the pandemic.
There is a lot of blame to share, but as opposed to blaming, we should do what the Prime Minister is talking about and look at ways we can stabilize immigration into the future. That is what we are going to do.
