Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our parliamentary secretary for joining us, along with officials as well.
Mr. DeCourcey, you mentioned that the figures of global migrants are at 258 million. That's a 49% increase, as we've seen.
We know that Canada needs to act and that states need to act in a collaborative measure.
However, there are some states that have not signed on to the compact. There are certain parties that don't believe this compact will be sufficient. There are talks that this compact aims to erase national borders, that Canada is encouraging irregular migration or that it threatens national security. Some political parties have used this as fearmongering.
Do you believe that this compact would do any of these things?
