Madam Speaker, I have a question that ties into meeting targets. I have to say that I too am the daughter of immigrants. Like my colleague, I am very proud to be one. I know that immigration is an essential part of our country and that it contributes to building a better Canada. They say they want to welcome more francophones in particular. In Canada, and more specifically in western Canada, we desperately need consular services to support these families. Does my colleague agree that we need to ensure that these services are offered on the ground? Does the government need to invest in these services?

  • Re: Bill C-13 
Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the important work of my colleague with respect to this bill. I know the issue of immigration is especially important to him. We know that there is a huge need to welcome francophone immigrants from around the world and that that is a big part of Bill C‑13. Would the member be in favour of increasing funding for consular services and recruitment efforts to attract and process more francophone files from abroad?
