Good afternoon, ladies and sir. Thank you for being here today.
Perhaps we're trying to pass Conservatives off as racists, but we don't speak for no purpose; we act.
Among my employees are a Japanese, a Paraguayan, a Bulgarian, a Cameroonese and, more recently, a Senegalese. In addition, my wife is an immigrant. We are here to help you, to understand the problem and to move matters forward.
The delay in processing immigration applications is considerable. The number of persons waiting to be admitted to the country has risen from 50,000 to 800,000. We need to know how many immigrants a population of 30 million inhabitants can receive in one year. I'm not talking about balance, but we also have to allow people to arrive, to integrate, to find a job and to settle. Housing, for example, is one of the important factors that must be taken into account.
Ms. Osmani, does the problem that live-in caregivers face when they arrive have something to do with the lack of information about their rights?
