If I may, Mr. Chair, I have a question of grammar, period.
I would say “refugee claims”, not “refugee claimants”, because if we go back to family class sponsorships.... That's the only correction.

The Chair Conservative David Tilson
It's refugee claims.
Okay, Mr. Clerk, we're going to have a vote.

You withdrew that, so we're not going to hear that today.
Do you have a point of order, Mr. Dykstra?

No, it's not a point of order. I want to seek unanimous consent to move the following motion.

All right. It is that the chair report to the House at the earliest opportunity that this committee condemns in the strongest language the breach of trust in parliamentary privilege that occurred on Thursday, February 26, with the leaking of a clearly marked confidential report of the committee on citizenship and immigration; and that this committee further expresses its dismay that the spirit of cooperation, which has characterized proceedings in the preceding several meetings, has been poisoned by an attempt to unilaterally influence the committee's action through the leaking of this report.
I refer directly to a press release that was issued by IWA, the Independent Workers Association, the home worker section, which issued a news release. It's very clear that the release was issued based on this report that we received Thursday obviously being made available to someone in the press or someone in the media.

All right. I'll then issue my motion to be dealt with at our next session.

Would you mind waiting two seconds?
I don't have this report. Where is it?
