You can relate the experiences to us the way those countries have expressed them. If you have information on the issue, I would appreciate it if you would share it with the committee.
I would now like to talk about a hypothetical situation. I understand the purpose of this new conditional status, but some feel that this new status could leave sponsored women in precarious situations, giving a lot of power to the husbands already settled in Canada who sponsor their spouses from other countries. For instance, a situation like that may occur if a man who married and sponsored a woman wants to separate after a year and a half because she cannot have children or because she has fallen into depression or has had trouble adapting since she arrived. In those circumstances, can the man really end the marriage and send his wife back to her country of origin?
