I'd like to ask a question that's been previously addressed in committee.
The Commissioner of Official Languages told the committee that there's a systemic problem within the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, particularly with respect to foreign student recruitment.
The Commissioner confirmed that study permit applications submitted by students from certain countries, African countries in particular, were systematically denied. That's a fact of tremendous concern to us and would be to all Canadians aware of it.
How can you explain that to us?
