My friend Anastasia—she's here too—and I had to hire private security to protect ourselves. I will never forget the moment in November 2023, after the November 8 incident

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Chair. We have huge opportunities right now in northern Ontario. The mines are booming, and we have a lot of interest in immigration, but what's stopping us is housing. We need fourplexes, co-op housing, seniors' residences and enormous amounts of urban first

We intend to address this through a series of measures, including training supports for Canadian workers, targeted immigration programs and, of course, incentivizing the scale-up of home manufacturing facilities—building more homes in factories.

Some in B.C. have waited decades to be able to get permanent residency. They've been contributing to the economy, they've been in the care economy

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I think I answered the previous question the same way. This is practically the same question, and I already answered it before.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I do not know whether the member changed his notes between his three questions, but as I just said, I will be meeting with my ministerial colleagues this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to talk about exactly that. That is our commitment to the provinces. Co-operation

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member should be well aware, I am off to meet with my provincial counterparts this Thursday for precisely this purpose. I am looking forward to the follow-up. In particular, the provinces will be asked to define precisely what this integration capacity is

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'd like to actually move a subamendment to the amendment. In fact, on this issue, what I think needs to be done is, of course, for the government to immediately resume priority processing for Hong Kongers. When the immigration measure was first
