Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by my constituents of Stoney Creek who call upon parliament to ask the Department of Citizenship and Immigration to review existing income requirements so that potential sponsors will not be unduly burdened by them. The petitioners request that more than one person be allowed to sponsor the same individual and share the responsibility for financial support of the immigrant.
In the House of Commons on May 11th, 1999. See this statement in context.
