I recently had the opportunity to meet with the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants. At the same time, we met with the Canadian Bar Association. I think that they are on the right track with regard to training people and increasing the number of members of their association.
However, the problems they have concern the protection of immigrants. I have briefed the committee on problems regarding information posted in embassies in the country's mother tongue. India is one of many countries that has several languages. In China, guidelines on immigration applications are posted in Mandarin. The problem was that the translations were not right. The department had told us that it would get back to us on this. I don't know whether the researchers have had a response from the department on this. Perhaps not.
I think that, here, with regard to the wording, there is no point hearing from individuals who are not members of the society. I don't know whether my colleague can amend his motion.
