Mr. Speaker, have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, entitled “Immigration in the Time of COVID-19: Issues and Challenges”.
Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.
I would like to thank all members of the committee for their collegiality and hard work in addressing this important issue and coming forward with comprehensive recommendations.
I thank everyone who addressed and wrote to the committee to share their difficult stories.
As well, I would like to thank our analysts, Julie Béchard, Madalina Chesoi, Martin McCallum and Graeme McConnell, for the many long hours spent drafting this report.
