Mr. Speaker, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of individuals who have applied to come to Canada through visitor visas. This petition calls upon the government to support the idea of allowing more people to be issued these visas. They are calling the process into question.
When we look at the backlog, especially with regard to parents and grandparents, it would bode well if we could come up with a way to authorize more multi-year and multi-entry visas.
The petitioners call upon the government to move forward on reuniting more families here in Canada by issuing these types of visas.
This petition is well worth the government taking a serious look at.
