Citizenship and Immigration committee  Do you want to read the motion?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Sorry, what was that? No reason to what?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Chair, if I may, I was wondering if Ms. Chow can answer my question, the one that I posed to her.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If I may make one clarification—I want to speak to this—I appreciate the fact that the individuals whom we're dealing with need to be dealt with in an appropriate and fast fashion, but I think there's other stuff on the agenda. For example, with respect to the Iraqi refugees, we have people over there who are getting killed, people who are stuck at the border, and they're forced back out of Syria and Jordan to go back into Iraq.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Fine. I mean, the agenda as it was...we ask the steering committee, the agenda as it was, that the agenda gets brought back. And none of these items that are important to our stakeholders, that are important to the people who have put their names forward, are dismissed.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, am I taking it that you're recommending that the agenda as we had it is brought forth and does not get dropped from the radar screen?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, may I seek unanimous consent, through you, that we recommend, that we ask the steering committee, or that we suggest to the steering committee, or that we order the steering committee not to drop these items from the agenda? I'm sure everybody in this room will be in agreement with that.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Chair, as a point of clarification, I did refer to some e-mails. I will table them for the committee.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would like to address the letter, Chair.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would say, Chair, if I may speak to the letter--and it's very unfortunate that you don't have copies to distribute to members--if you want to call it my complaint or my point of order or my point of privilege, whichever it falls under, there's the fact that there was stuff on the agenda that we had before that is there right now.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Maybe you want me to read the letter. I could read the letter.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  My motion is certainly in the same vein and on the same page, and as I've heard from Madame Faille, not only do we have in question the individuals from the United States, but there are other countries that we must consider. If a country has mandatory service and that country tomorrow were to decide to go into Iraq, and the people from that country decided, for whatever reason, enough is enough, they're not going to stick around to go there, as we had the draft dodgers from the Vietnam war, and they're going to go to Canada and seek refuge, we also have to consider that perspective.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Chair, I think the steering committee has certainly heard clearly our wish to hear it, and certainly we'll be dealing with this.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have a point of privilege on a letter that I have sent to you, sir, that I would like to discuss.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'd like to make an amendment to the routine motions. I would like to see, Chair, every time the minister and/or any officials are coming to speak to us, that if they are speaking from notes, a copy of that speech and/or the notes be given to us as soon as the minister starts speaking, so that we can follow it.
