Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the department officials for being part of our study on migration challenges and opportunities for Canada in the 21st century.
I had the opportunity, I believe it was in April 2017, to be in Mexico City with Speaker Regan. It was very interesting to visit some of the resettlement centres in Mexico City and to hear from the Mexican government that Mexico itself was having a lot more pressures on it from migration coming up through the U.S. It was trying to respond to increased refugee and asylum claimants. Now we have this situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, which I think a lot of people are paying attention to. I think a lot of Canadians are paying attention to this as well.
I was reading an article this morning that said that one of the Catholic archbishops in Canada, Leonardo Marin Saavedra raised the possibility of some of the migrant caravan being accepted in Canada. I think this situation is probably going to be more frequent in Canada as we see greater pressures on Mexico and the U.S. coming up in terms of migration challenges in the 21st century.
I'm just wondering, because the archbishop had said that there was going to be a project proposal put forward to Justin Trudeau. Maybe I'll go to Ms. Greene, as you're the director of resettlement and protection policy. Has the government advised you or asked you at all to start preparing a proposal or any policy to respond to the particular caravan situation that we're seeing in Tijuana right now?
