Mr. Speaker, yes, it would be good to know that.
Will it be 150,000 people? Will it be less or more? Evidently, the number of people affected has a financial impact. There needs to be accountability. As parliamentarians, we have the right to know and we should get an annual update. That would be critically important. There is a reason this amendment was proposed.
This confirms to me that, unfortunately, accountability to Parliament is not the Liberals' strong suit. They are not transparent. They do not show respect for democracy and the mandates they have received. Accountability to Parliament should be a given.
I sincerely hope that we will be able to get this annual report and find out the exact number of new citizens and the financial impact this will have. It is important.
