I am working in real time and for the record, my staff is informing me that the media says that the year three plan goes up to 350,000. That was the comment we were looking at. Again, I would go back

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Mr. Speaker, a fast way to build support for immigration in Canada is to fix the system that the Prime Minister has broken.

Border Security I will take that as a no, Madam Speaker, but let me try again. I am not sure if the minister watched that interview, but he really should, because it was really a hot mess. However, this is not about his lack of media training. This is about positive federal-provincial relations
