Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
In our ridings, we see a lot of cases of temporary resident visa applicants from China. Often, these people, who simply wish to visit with their family, see their application rejected. I would underscore the fact that I have no quantitative assessment. However, this has been observed. If often happens that people wish to join with the rest of the family because a parent has died, or one of the children is to be married, etc.
How is it that there are so many cases from China, and what reasons bring an officer to refuse a temporary resident visa to someone who simply wishes to attend the funeral or the wedding of a relative?
