Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have a great respect for the hon. member, the work that he did, and his knowledge. However, when I look at the motion, I do not expect him to answer all of these questions, but in terms of (a) to (e), I would assume that you would agree with those things.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, when I look at those first parts of the motion, they are very agreeable. The problem is probably the fourth part of the motion. In light of the fact, and I know the hon. member would agree with this, that the most horrific thing we have done as human beings is to produce a bomb and a weapon of such total destruction, is this not in the best interests of all of us?

Turkey  Mr. Speaker, since the failed coup attempt in Turkey on July 15, 2016, allegations state that 180 media outlets have been shut down, 120 journalists have been arrested, over 3,500 judges and prosecutors have been dismissed, and over 27,000 people have been arrested and detained in Turkey.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's a good point and, as I said, I have a default here. I'm not a sitting member, so I've probably missed much of the discussion. I keep pictures of my constituents or those living in my constituency who are looking to gain entry. I do that to remind myself that I need to advocate for these people.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Do you handle a lot of refugee cases?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Is it possible that some of the allegations are coming from refugees? Again, my experience has been that those who are refugees—and some are legitimate, and some jump the queue—make this their home. Their children are born here, so we work hard to get them.... They were successful, but only because they had lawyers who were able to keep going back to the system.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for the opportunity to be here. Do I have five minutes or seven minutes?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm not a sitting member of this committee, but in taking just a quick glance around this room, I think maybe Mr. Tilson is the only one who isn't either from an immigrant family or an immigrant himself. I think that speaks to much of what our society is. I say that and, Mr. Kewley, I think maybe I'll go to you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Okay. That's a very good point. This just proves my point. We didn't even call them refugees at that time. The point is that today we have a huge flux of refugees, and we also have a huge group of individuals who enter the country through immigration, through another process. They come here, and they make application.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Let me interject. I would suggest that most people who are going through the system, through the normal channels, probably wouldn't engage with a ghost consultant. Wouldn't they be more apt to—

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would just add that the hon. member for Louis-Saint-Laurent is one of the greatest orators in this House. I think we are all stimulated and actually shocked by his projections, and not only his projections but those of the parliamentary budget officer, who said that we would be possibly out of a deficit position in 2055.
