Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  We see more racism than ever all across the departments after nine years of the government, including in the immigration department. There was a report that came out in 2021, a Polaris report, that showed racism only went up in that department. Since we are on the topic, I would like to get the member's take on the Prime Minister, someone who has done racist blackface.

Finance committee  I think the bigger effect, though, is that we have had a tight rental market combined with a big surge in immigration. Many of those immigrants are entering the rental market. We've seen a big increase particularly in non-permanent residents. That is putting a lot of additional pressure on the rental market.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I move the following motion that's been put on notice: That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee conduct a study into the widespread Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) fraud committed under the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program as reported by the Globe and Mail starting on September 29, 2023 specifically referencing immigration consultants and lawyers whom allegedly fraudulently marketed LMIAs to migrants in values as high as $80,000 in violation of the established regulations; that this study consist of at least two meetings; that for one meeting the committee invite the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and his department officials to testify for one hour each; that for one meeting the committee invite the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development, and Official Languages and his department officials to testify for one hour each; that the committee report its findings to the House; and that the committee request a comprehensive response from the Government.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  His conduct speaks to an arrogance of ideals at the expense of the democratic process and pro-social dialogue. ...I have considered potential immigration consequences and in my view, to reduce the sentence would result in a sentence that would be disproportionate...Mr. Haq failed to disclose that he was denied a US visa, the sentence imposed may be of no moment to his immigration situation.

Combating Motor Vehicle Theft Act  The Journal de Montréal reported that only five CBSA officers were tasked with inspecting the containers. According to the Customs and Immigration Union, only 1% of all containers that leave the port of Montreal are searched. It is easy to see where that can lead. In fall 2015, an Auditor General's report stated that export control at the border is ineffective and that only one in five high-risk containers was inspected by the CBSA.

Canadian Heritage committee  For example, if there is a French-language school in an anglophone majority region, it's much easier for a francophone family immigrating or coming from elsewhere in Canada to move there. Sixth, the very existence of the court challenges program may have a deterrent effect on any government that might wish to attack francophone minority language rights.

International Trade committee  The community futures also support local economic diversification through strategic planning for the communities, and they are also able to provide advice on immigration and on all kinds of things. If they don't have the information the same way we do, we're pathfinders to be able to bring those businesses the support that they need in order to be able to advance.

Daniel Boucher  Under his leadership, Franco-Manitobans secured several major gains, including the creation of their own school division in 1994 and the passage of Bill C‑5, an inclusive act that ensured the long-term vitality of Manitoba's francophonie. Fortified by these developments and by francophone immigration, Manitoba's francophone population is going strong, having grown from 11,000 in 1991 to over 112,000 today. I had the privilege of working with him and standing alongside him for several of the advancements he secured for Manitoba.

Transport committee  In fact, in a globalized economy like Canada's, a lot of communities rely on air travel for tourism, immigration or trade. There is definitely a public aspect to air travel that justifies government support for the infrastructure necessary to enable it.

Transport committee  This highlights that the air travel market in Canada is dynamic and competitive and that Air Canada can compete and succeed at the global level. The level of connectivity offered by Air Canada facilitates trade, tourism and immigration. It allows us to employ 40,000 people and support more than 190,000 indirect jobs. There has also been a significant increase in competition in the domestic market, with other carriers increasing capacity, including WestJet, Porter and Flair.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Why did the Liberal member of Parliament for Vancouver Quadra, likely with support from the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship work to prevent his deportation? These are the questions that weren't answered.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Speaker, as the member well knows, these are not matters that we talk about publicly, much less on the floor of the House of Commons. Unfortunately, the power that the Minister of Immigration has to stay deportation is given to him by Parliament, so we parliamentarians give him the power. It's in the IRPA. I did read the court decisions, and I think we should be mindful of the following things that were said by two different justices.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Chair, at this point, I'd like to move this motion: That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee add an additional meeting to the study adopted on February 12, 2024 regarding the pension transferability and access to Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) for Hongkongers, to study the processing delays for permanent residence applications of Hongkongers, potential differential treatment among different Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) visa offices, and the status of priority processing for applicants in Canada and abroad. The reason I'm moving this motion at this point, Mr.

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to application backlogs and processing times at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to date: (a) how many temporary resident applications, permanent resident applications, and citizenship applications are in backlog, broken down by individual stream, including pilot programs; (b) what is the month-to-month reduction or increase in the number of applications in backlog, broken down by each individual stream, including pilot programs for the previous 60 months; and (c) how many applications have been processed and accepted for each individual stream, broken down by year, and by province or territory?

International Trade committee  Infrastructure investment is negated if other government actions or inaction prevent the border from being as seamless and free-flowing as possible. Here are three examples. First, because Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada does not have reasonable service standards for processing the paperwork associated with maintaining or changing status for temporary Canadian residents, it forces people to drive hours to the border, where they must cross the border, be denied entry to the U.S. and return to Canada, where they then receive immigration services immediately.
