Mr. Chair, over the last year and a half, we have found out that the government has taken an aggressive approach to deporting undocumented workers in Canada who are trying to get on with their lives—and they've been in Canada for five to six years, and they present a need for trades that are thirsty for their skills.
Since we're going to be discussing undocumented workers in the upcoming few weeks, or in the fall, and we're going to have witnesses testify in front of us and we'll be making a report, I would ask that the minister put a moratorium on the deportation of these workers until this committee has a chance to fully hear what is happening. Over the summertime or fall, when we're in hearings, the minister can certainly put all of the resources they have used in the past year and a half to deport these people into making Canada a home for these folks.
