Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here.
First and foremost, thank you for your service to Canada and for your advocacy, not just on behalf of your family but on behalf of other families who are stuck in this loophole and this bureaucratic mess that they are caught up in today.
I also want to say how much of a pleasure it was to meet all of you on Parliament Hill when you were all on a hunger strike. You were on strike because of the absolute failure by this Liberal government to address your concerns.
Mr. Faizi, when we were speaking on the Hill, you spoke about and showed me that the Minister of Immigration had made some insensitive comments towards your family members and those of others, in the sense that he implied that they were security threats, according to what we talked about on the Hill. I did ask the minister to apologize for that twice. He refused to do that. Has the minister reached out to you in any way?
I also mentioned that he met with your families plenty of times, and they still haven't had any response. Has he reached out at all to apologize for these insensitive comments?
