Citizenship and Immigration Committee on March 3rd, 2022

[The Chair, Liberal, Salma Zahid]

Thank you.

Before we adjourn, there are a few things I need to bring to the attention of all the members.

On March 22, we will commence our study on differential outcomes. On March 24, the minister will appear for the first hour on differential outcomes, with officials for the second hour.

The appearance on the mains will be scheduled based on the committee's schedule and the availability of the minister.

To inform all the members, tomorrow we have an additional meeting so that we can give drafting instructions to our analyst. This meeting will be held from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. I hope everyone has the Zoom link for that. There will be arrangements to have the meeting in person for those who want to attend in person.

Ms. Kwan.

[Jenny Kwan, NDP, Vancouver East, BC]

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Before you adjourn, I'd like to just raise a point of order.

I don't know if this is a problem with other MPs, but when some of the officials were speaking it seemed to me that there was a loud echo going on. I don't know if that was happening, or if it was just on my own earset. If this is happening, then I would ask that we look into that. I'm sure it's problematic for the interpreters, as they have to continually deal with this.

[The Chair, Liberal, Salma Zahid]

If any members hear an echo during the meeting, please interrupt and let me know, and we can always check.

Go ahead, Mr. Dhaliwal.

[Sukh Dhaliwal, Liberal, Surrey—Newton, BC]

I had the same issue as Madam Kwan.

[The Chair, Liberal, Salma Zahid]

Thank you, Mr. Dhaliwal.

Go ahead, Madame Lalonde.

[Marie-France Lalonde, Liberal, Orléans, ON]

I did not experience that same situation.

[The Chair, Liberal, Salma Zahid]

If there is any issue during the committee, please let me know. We will make sure we look into the issue of interpretation and the sound.

With that, I will take a moment, on behalf of all members of the committee, to thank all of the officials for appearing before the committee. Thanks a lot for your time in this busy schedule. Thanks for all the efforts and the work you are doing to make sure programs can be rolled out on a moment's notice. With all that's happening around the world, you have been under a lot of pressure. On behalf of all of the members, thank you for all the work you do.

Is it the will of the committee to adjourn the meeting?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Liberal, Salma Zahid]

The meeting is adjourned.
