In the memo being quoted here by The Canadian Press, it says, “Waiving the cap [would] help alleviate labour shortages, a memorandum for the minister conceded, but it could also have other unintended consequences.”
Then it continues and talks about other issues that would arise. The memo said it could, “give rise to further program integrity concerns with the international student program”.
Minister, will you commit today to instruct your deputy minister to release all the memos, the briefing notes and the internal documents being referred to in The Canadian Press article that appeared on the CBC, no less, on February 13, 2024? The headline reads, “Minister was warned about possible negative impacts of lifting international student work limit”.
Will you release them to this committee?
