"We favour multiculturalism. And what Canadians need to understand, what we understand about multiculturalism, is that people who make the hard decision to leave countries where they've been established for centuries and come here, they first and foremost want to belong to this country. That's why they come. That's why they're here. They also, at the same time, will change our country, and we show through multiculturalism our willingness to accommodate their differences, so they're more comfortable. That's why we're so successful integrating people as a country. I think we're probably the most successful country in the world in that regard."
