Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Last year, we welcomed over 405,000 new permanent residents, the largest number of newcomers in a single year in Canadian history. I would like to let my esteemed colleague know that, in the first quarter of this year, we set even more records. We processed over 157,000 permanent residence applications and issued over 100,000 work permits and over 10,000 study permits a week. We have made considerable investments, and we will continue to be there for people who choose Canada.
