Mr. Speaker, obviously, this is not the most urgent priority. As I mentioned earlier, over the past 10 years, the Department of Citizenship and Immigration has been the most dysfunctional department in the federal government.
There have been seven immigration ministers in 10 years. When a ship is sinking, changing captains is not going to help. A new ship must be built. The problems with immigration are systemic. In 2022, the immigration minister announced with great fanfare an $85‑million investment in his department to hire staff. In December 2024, he cut 3,300 jobs in his department. That is how he was managing the immigration system.
