Thank you, Chair.
And thank you, witnesses, for being here, in both Montreal and here.
My question is to Madam Mattoo, of the South Asian Legal Clinic. You published a very interesting report titled, “The Incidence of Forced Marriage in Ontario”. You had several recommendations for the government, a few of direct interest to this committee. Recommendation 3 is, “Develop an appropriate risk assessment tool for service providers, which include guidelines on how to deal with forced marriage cases.”
By service providers, who do you actually mean? Are they the visa officers? Can you elaborate on this recommendation?
