Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions that I am very pleased to present to the House.
The first is from constituents who are very concerned about the present restrictions in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act pertaining to family sponsorship. The petitioners would definitively like to see an expansion of the definition of family to include other relatives.
They call upon this government to amend the legislation to address the concerns to ensure that family reunification is a cornerstone of our immigration policy.
