Introduced as a private member’s bill.
This bill has received Royal Assent and is, or will soon become, law.
This is from the published bill.
This enactment amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to allow a parent or grandparent who applies for a temporary resident visa as a visitor to purchase private health insurance outside Canada and to stay in Canada for a period of five years.
It also requires the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration to prepare and table a report in respect of a reduction to the minimum income requirement that the child or grandchild must meet in order for the visiting parent or grandparent to be able to enter and remain in Canada for an extended period.
All sorts of information on this bill is available at LEGISinfo, an excellent resource from the Library of Parliament. You can also read the full text of the bill.

The Deputy Speaker Chris d'Entremont
All those opposed to the hon. member's moving the motion will please say nay.
Some hon. members
Nay.
The Deputy Speaker Chris d'Entremont
There is no agreement.
I wish to inform the House that, because of the deferred recorded divisions, Government Orders will be extended by 27 minutes.
Some hon. members
Oh, oh!
The Deputy Speaker Chris d'Entremont
Government Orders is extended because of the vote, not because of extenuating circumstances. It is an automatic change.
