Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, MP El-Khoury.
I would like to give an oral notice of motion:
That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study of no more than two meetings to examine the temporary public policy to facilitate temporary resident visas for certain extended family affected by the crisis in Gaza, including the challenges that the Government of Canada faces in facilitating the exit of Gazans, the challenges faced by families leaving Gaza and once out of Gaza, before reaching Canada. That the committee invite the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to appear for one hour with departmental officials and that department officials appear for an additional hour. That the committee invite affected families as well as Canadian civil society. That the committee report its findings to the House and that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the Government table a comprehensive response to the report.
I will now pass my time back to MP El-Khoury.
