Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, a bona fide copy of the second report of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration entitled “Refugee Protection and Border Security: Striking a Balance”.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank committee members for their hard work and good work, the witnesses who appeared before the committee who gave us their wisdom and thoughts, and the minister and the officials who also provided us good counsel and advice. The report contains some 46 recommendations.
We want to assure Canadians that not only is our border secure, but we want a fair and equitable refugee determination system, and I believe we have that.
Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
