Thank you, Madam Chair.
Madam Chair, I will echo your comments that you made to Imam Badat about Ramadan. I would love to wish him Ramadan mubarak on this religious and spiritual occasion.
I also have a question for the imam as well. I know many applications are passed, but many people come to my office with issues, particularly with regulation 4, which was brought in by then immigration minister Jason Kenney and the Conservatives. I would love to see regulation 4 abolished today, because it asks the couples, number one, to prove that their marriage is genuine. It already presents many difficulties, not only in the Islamic community but also for Sikhs, Hindus and others in India and Pakistan, which I have experienced.
The first one is on the genuineness of the marriage and the second is when you entered into the marriage. It was a marriage of convenience if you never met before. I am also one of those who had an arranged marriage 34 years ago.
Imam, I would like to ask you how many such cases do you see, and would you agree with me that regulation 4 should be abolished?
