Mr. Speaker, the member spoke, in her awesome speech, about the fact that the government has no numbers. It got me thinking about the impact this has on the system in Canada. For example, all of us know that it takes a long time to get things through the immigration department. It has been plagued by a big backlog and delays. There are also other ways in which I could see new citizens impacting Canada, for example with old age security.
Could the member comment on some of the impacts that hundreds of thousands of new citizens might have on the costs in our government?
