Central Nova MP Sean Fraser says Canada has surpassed a significant milestone.  Fraser, who is also the federal Immigration Minister says Canada has crossed the threshold to be a country of more than 40 million people.

Fraser says to see our population rising through a mix of immigration and domestic growth is exciting and bodes well for the future of Canada.
