Mr. Speaker, I would say that, true to form, the member for Winnipeg North is not acting in good faith, and that is putting it politely.
The amendments introduced by the government are a direct attack on the amendments that were voted on in committee. They simply undo the amendments that were voted on in committee. However, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer's remarks in committee, we are not talking about 500, 600, 700, or 1,000 people who would be affected by the bill, but rather 115,000 to 150,000 people. The Minister of Immigration told us that it is impossible to estimate.
We have worked hard to set guidelines to ensure that our work is thorough. This bill is important to people who have experienced injustice. What the government is doing now is simply joining forces with another party that does not sit on the committee and is not there to vote on amendments.
Unfortunately, the work done in committee is being taken lightly by this group, which is always saying it wants to collaborate.
