Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions to present.
The first petition is signed by hundreds of people in my riding and is with respect to the processing of applications to sponsor parents. These new Canadians are very concerned about the increasing delay and backlog in processing applications to sponsor parents. In fact, in some cases it has quadrupled.
The petitioners ask the House in the spirit of humanitarianism to increase the quotas and decrease the backlog in these applications.
