Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
While I agree with the comments of Madam Martinez Ferrada and Ms. Dhillon on the motion, I would like to move to amend point four in the motion, deleting the words “to expedite and facilitate the”, and replacing them with “the facilitation and”. I also move to delete the words “the difficulties encountered by certain groups of”, and to replace them “with special attention to the experience of groups of”.
In this way I think that we would not be prejudging the answers we're going to get. We want to have an open examination to hear the experiences of people, and the experience with international students is an important issue and matter of concern. I come from a city—Halifax—where we have a large number of universities, in a province where international students play a very important role economically as well as academically, so I think that broadening the wording of this would be valuable.
