Madam Speaker, I have two petitions which I would like to table. The first petition contains 200 signatures, which will add to the over 12,000 signatures I tabled in the House. The petitioners are calling for a change to our immigration system which would allow us to honour our commitment under the Geneva convention to bring in genuine economic refugees and enable them to make a home as soon as possible.
In the House of Commons on June 5th, 2000. See this statement in context.
