Mr. Chair, if I may, I do find it is highly disrespectful in terms of the manner in which this has unfolded. The committee would be doing a service, I would ultimately argue, to send a strong message. These are civil servants and I would have expected them to make a presentation.
If it's in order, Mr. Chairperson, I would like to move that the immigration officials from Manila, New Delhi, and Chandigarh be asked to provide an explanation as to why they were not able to present before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration.
