Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank all of the presenters. In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Mahmood for bringing up the minority issues around the globe, and I'm sure you know the Manmeet Singh Bhullar Foundation from your own town. We have many Sikhs and Hindus too...from Afghanistan. Thank you for that.
Madam Chair, I'm going to carry on with the questioning. My good friend Bob Saroya on the other side was talking about students. International students contribute greatly to Canada, and as a result, make excellent candidates to transition from student to permanent resident to citizenship. Approximately 11,000 students became permanent residents last year.
What more can be done with regard to finding pathways to PR, and from PR to citizenship for these international students?
Anyone can start.
