Madam Speaker, on March 26, I had the pleasure of participating in the official openings of some new businesses in my riding of Orléans. I want to congratulate Louise and André Chouinard, the new owners of a terra20 franchise, which sells sustainable products to promote a healthy lifestyle. Their new store on Tenth Line Road features an exclusive ecobar, where customers can purchase refillable bottles of cleaning and personal care products. This is an environmentally sound and sustainable solution. The Natural Food Pantry also recently opened in Orléans. I want to thank manager Jennie Brousseau for her warm welcome. The opening of that store was also an opportunity to participate in the launch of a new leading-edge green technology called TAGPod, the very first waste-free bulk food dispenser pilot project in the world. The Aggressive Good's TAGPod system, which was designed to reduce single use plastics, will revolutionize grocery shipping and make it more sustainable and easier for customers, while producing zero waste. I congratulate them.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Since day one, Canada has been there to help Ukrainians fleeing Putin's war. We will continue to work with them. More than 12,000 Ukrainians arrived this week alone. My colleague is well aware that we cannot talk about specific cases. I strongly encourage him to come to see me, and we will work together.

Madam Speaker, once again I thank my colleague for his question. I just want to make one thing clear to the House. Since the beginning, we have received and processed over half a million permanent residence applications. In fact, we set a record. We welcomed 143,000 permanent residents to Canada over the last three months. We need to do more, and that is exactly what we will continue to do.
