Mr. Speaker, my question is for the immigration minister.
At its last convention, the Liberal Party of Canada passed a resolution calling for the lowering or the outright elimination of the $975 head tax immigrants must pay when they apply for residence in Canada. This tax which is particularly outrageous, unfair and discriminatory for refugees comes on top of the $500 processing fee for each application.
Can the minister tell us whether she intends to comply with the request put by members of her party and what exactly she is considering doing in response to their demand?
