Madam Speaker, the backlogs at IRCC continue to grow. As of October, there were 1.8 million applications in backlog and counting. Those are not just numbers; they are families that remain separated, Canadian businesses unable to fill labour shortages and refugees stranded in Afghanistan. This Liberal-made backlog is causing immense mental health issues, at a time when loved ones need to be together, our economy needs workers and refugees are desperate for safety. What concrete steps is the government taking to finally address the disastrous Liberal-made backlogs?

Madam Speaker, as the minister pats himself on the back for a job well failed, Deepak Talwar is a business owner in Saskatoon. He and his family left India for Canada in 2017 and have been waiting for years to hear any word on their applications. This story is just one of thousands about newcomers who are lost in the black hole of Liberal-made backlogs. My office hears these cases every day and the devastating effects they have on people are damaging Canada's reputation around the world. When is the government going to stop hiding behind excuses and finally get something done on immigration backlogs?
