Mr. Speaker, this is interesting. The Bloc does not want to blame immigrants, yet they are telling us to amend our plans. I would like to ask the Bloc members from rural ridings to go and visit the farmers in their ridings to see where they are finding workers. Would they want to reduce the number of temporary workers? The Bloc members need to answer the question, because it is a very important one that needs an answer.

Mr. Speaker, I first want to correct my colleague's comment that I am responsible for the first nations. I serve the first nations. In reply to the question, the member opposite is quite right. It is unfair that communities that were previously in rural areas but now are not because of urban sprawl are penalized because of prices linked to postal codes. Let us hope that Canada Post, which is an independent agency, will rectify the situation. I have been speaking to the Minister of Public Services and Procurement about this and will continue to do so.
