Citizenship and Immigration committee  So you would agree that, if I were to make the statement...that when the minister uses the word “doctors”, she's really misleading the Canadian public.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Chair, there were three minutes that Mr. Komarnicki started by attacking--

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, with all due respect, sir, I'd like to have two minutes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That was Mr. Komarnicki who started the damn thing, and this is why—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If it were anybody else on this side, you would have cut into their time. You didn't cut into his time.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  On a point of order, Mr. Chair, it's not an issue of my restraining myself. It's been the practice that, if somebody raises a point of order, you eat into their time. That's the practice, sir, that you followed.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If you're changing your mind right now, let us know for the future that you will respect that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, I have just one point of order.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I heard Mr. Komarnicki say we should be adding meetings on Thursday. With all due respect, people have lives and schedules to follow, and adding—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chairman, would you advise the finance committee that we have technical difficulties and might need extra time?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, certainly face-to-face representation adds value. Not only that, but it also gives the witnesses an opportunity to interact with us and for us to interact with them. However, Mr. Chair, if we were to do this.... We've already lost two days. I think that it's only responsible of us to move the May 16 line to after the break, when we come back after the long week.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, I think you should also report it to the House.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, when are we getting the minister back?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Sir, you'd like Canada to do that, or are you urging Canada to do this?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  When Kosovo happened, Canada took in 5,000. Should Canada do the same thing at the present moment? Should Canada ask the stakeholders like churches and groups like the Syrians, the Chaldeans, and everybody else if they can be master builders and take people in?
