Earlier, I reminded the minister of how the Immigration Act, which falls under her jurisdiction, works. She told us that the 1,095‑day period we use, which is entirely appropriate, was copied from the 1,095 days required of permanent residents. However, she forgot that, for permanent residents, it has to be over a five‑year period, whereas in Bill C‑3, it's 1,095 non-consecutive days, regardless of the period.
Do you have any numbers?
I imagine you don't have any, but would you be able to redo—I'm asking this in all naïveté—a calculation, if we added the criteria of 1,095 days, or three years, over a five-year period?
Could your department provide us with an estimate?
