“Our government is working hard, being open, and managing immigration well. I thank the people in my riding for electing me to do this work.”
“Mr. Chair, I am actually disappointed that we are coming to a close, because I think we just are getting started, to be quite frank. Let me first thank the member for Winnipeg North for the tremendous work he is doing here. Every member of the House knows he is a champion and represents his constituents and Canadians exceptionally well. He has been a great mentor to me personally since I came to the House in 2021. I want Canadians to know that we are working hard for them. We are being transparent. We have a plan. We are managing migration. We clearly have results. I also want to take a moment to thank the support staff, the interpreters, the pages, the security personnel, the dedicated professionals at IRCC and my colleagues beside me, who have been here the whole time to support me through this process and also to work for Canadians as we continue this work. Ministers do not get a chance to do this. Members can, but not ministers. It is my first chance since I was elected 12 months ago to thank the good people of Halifax West, without whom I would not be able to do this important work for Canadians. I just want to tell them and everybody across the country that I am looking forward to a very productive summer season, when I will get an opportunity to hear from everybody from different parts of the country, all their views, opinions and interests, as we continue to build a strong economy with my parliamentary colleagues on the benches, with this great government, the ministers who work day and night and our fabulous Prime Minister. I told the media, which is true, that we have a difficult task, but we will do it, and we will deliver for Canadians.”
