Mr. Speaker, I think that Bill C-12 will provide some tools, and that is great. Now all we need is some leadership.
On Monday, the minister came to talk to the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. We pointed out to her that there were serious problems with the integrity of the process regarding international students. I did not get the sense that we were talking to someone who is determined to fix the problem. It took me six minutes to get her to admit that she was somewhat concerned about the situation.
I hope that Bill C-12 will be passed, that it will provide the necessary tools, but also that immigration officers will send a clear message that when they encounter potentially fraudulent cases, they do not just sweep them under the rug. They process them, they resolve them, and in doing so, they strengthen the integrity of our immigration process.
