Mr. Chair, as this is my first opportunity at the mic, I have a motion to move, which I put on notice on Friday. It's concerning matters that this committee considered on February 7. I think there is some inconsistency in testimony we've received from officials, and I think the minister didn't take it seriously.
The motion I'm moving is the one I put on notice on Friday, February 23. I can read it into the record:
Given that, the Globe & Mail recently reported that:
(a) The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is investigating “smuggling operations of Mexicans who fly to Canada without the need of a visa and then enter the United States illegally through Canada's vast southern border”.
(b) According to the CBSA's director-general of intelligence and investigation, these kinds of human trafficking and smuggling operations may be run by a “cartel member, associate, somebody just involved in serious or organized crime”.
The committee invite:
(a) The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to appear before the committee, separately, for no less than 2 hours;
(b) Officials from the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to appear before the committee, separately, for no less than 1 hour;
(c) Officials from the Canada Border Services Agency to appear before the committee, separately, for no less than 2 hours.
That's the motion I move, Chair.
