Mr. Speaker, the third petition is in support of my private member's bill, Bill C-394, called the once in a lifetime bill.
My bill recognizes that family sponsorship is a key component of a fair immigration policy. The current family class rules are too restrictive and they mean that close family relatives in many cases are not eligible for sponsorship. I have had a huge response to this private member's bill.
The petitioners are urging that we act to redefine family class under the immigration and refugee act by passing Bill C-394.
