Madam Speaker, there is a lack of understanding of the legislation.
The member indicated he made an inquiry and found out there are 1,000 people who are not Canadians in our jails. He says that, somehow, their grandchildren are not going to be able to come to Canada, unless this legislation passes. If someone is a permanent resident who goes to jail for two or more years, they cannot become a Canadian citizen. In order for the whole process to kick in, a person has to be rooted to a Canadian citizen.
Would the member, at the very least, acknowledge that the information he has provided is actually wrong?
At the end of the day, you have to be careful because the way you expressed it, many would say, comes across as being anti-immigrant.
