Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much. I may turn to my colleague who is responsible for many of these areas. We generally say that we learn from all countries. The minister has already indicated his commitment to bringing something to cabinet later this year in the undocumented space. That would take into account those experiences.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think the question from Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe was around whether we had specific briefing notes about the cartel and its role in terms of.... That is a very different question from the question of whether we are doing anything or what the measures in place are to begin to address some of these issues—just to be clear.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're robustly engaging with our counterparts, whether they are in Europe, the U.S., the U.K., Australia or New Zealand, to look at the different models that people have in place to address the flows of migrants around the world. We will continue to maintain an open dialogue to learn from one another.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm reluctant to comment negatively on another country's measures given that their circumstances are different from our own, but I will say we are looking to our partners. An interesting example of a place we're learning from is Mexico. As much as we're talking about the flows from Mexico to Canada, Mexico in the last number of years has grown to be one of the larger asylum-receiving countries in the world.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm not aware of anything specific on Mexican cartels, but we have, obviously, materials on organized crime and activities.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That is the right order of things. I would say to go to the CBSA next. As you know, once a claim is not approved, it moves into the removal process, and that triggers CBSA processes to start the process for removals.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think you're talking specifically about migration for protection purposes or humanitarian purposes, as opposed to people who may be moving—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As the minister mentioned, estimates from the UN are that there are about 110 million people in the world who are currently displaced or on the move as a result of changing circumstances. The reasons for that would vary incredibly, from exposure to violent circumstances, wars or criminal elements in their country that threaten people's circumstances.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We work with our international partners and make investments in that international space to address country stability, and we work with the appropriate partners to help ensure that this occurs, as well as to promote human rights around the world. The individual measures would vary by region and by country.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. For a number of years now, we have had high-level dialogue occurring between the two countries. That specifically speaks to both the number and the trends we are seeing in this space in terms of asylum claims, human trafficking and others. It's to look at measures that can be taken.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have, as recently as two weeks ago.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The meetings vary over time in terms of frequency. More recently, we've been meeting frequently. My follow-up meeting in January was preceded by one in December. In addition, we obviously don't always meet in person. We have virtual contacts with governments on a number of levels.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We have a number of people working on the lead. We have an idea. We've recently gone through reorganization at IRCC, and we created an ADM of migration integrity. Aiesha Zafar's role is to augment and elevate our ability to deal with integrity issues in the broader system, not just on this issue.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would say that it's a shared lead within the department. Obviously, we have policy considerations as well as integrity issues. She is currently leading the discussions.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would say we've maintained a good dialogue with Mexican officials. We rely on them for a number of our programs. They have obviously expressed concerns—if that's your question—about modifying the current structure around travel between our two countries. We are very reliant on mutual travel between the two countries, and that has been flagged.
