Thank you.
My principal concern is to restore confidence in an immigration system that has served our country very well for rather a long time, and not only to restore confidence but also to restore the former consensus, which held good in this country and is not reflected elsewhere anymore, unfortunately.
We should also be wary about taking headlines from the things that I've written. The comment I was making in some of those things you referred to is a question of economic integration. Canada has been doing a worse and worse job on that score over recent years. The number of people who take citizenship and then leave the country, I think, speaks for itself and shows that this is a significant challenge the country has not been able to address.
I'd like to pivot back to what I said originally. The question is about restoring confidence in a system that I think has been badly shaken over the past several years. There are certainly merits, as we have heard, to the concept of restoring citizenship to those from whom it should not have been alienated in the first place, and that is something that merits exactly the kind of examination that's going on here right now.
There are many larger and broader questions pertaining to the integrity of our immigration system and public confidence in it, which this is not going to address, and if we get this wrong, it will only add to the problem.
