Fayçal El-Khoury at the Citizenship and Immigration Committee

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for coming to visit us so often and for explaining so many interesting things to us.

I would like to mention something at the beginning regarding the violence in our cities, Mr. Minister. Part of this happened in my riding. It must be known to everyone that a good part of the responsibility also goes to the provincial police of each area. Everything is not just on the federal side.

Here are my questions.

There are a number of programs and grants that are increasing significantly.

Are you able to tell us about the major steps taken compared to previous years in this regard?

Are there any new tools or pilot programs in the 2022-23 main estimates that you would like to bring to the committee's attention?

Can you tell us how the 2022-23 main estimates will address the links between economic growth and immigration?

Thank you, Minister.
