Right now our community is trying to ask the committee to think of the best way to help reunite families and find a doable solution. We come from Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver--organizations and religious organizations. We met with you many times individually last year and at the committee. There's also a willingness in the community to offer private sponsorship under the country of asylum class.
Finally, could you please inform the minister of your willingness to agree with him or recommend to him that the people be recognized as refugees--whatever is the best way to reunite families, for Patrick to see his father, whatever you think is best? The power is in your hands.
