Industry committee  Thank you very much, Chair. I'm going to ask two quick questions—one each for Mr. Suppa and Ms. Johnston. You talked about what we can do to lean on newcomers and also international students, but we recognize that in Canada right now there are hundreds of thousands

That reflects in the announcements of a series of changes in recent months to help them to sustain and recruit more international students. I know we are coming

We're now seen, from how we reacted to COVID, as a top destination for international education. If we don't seize the moment and provide sound recommendations through the House to the government, I think it's

Human Resources committee  No, it's all good. I know that it's maybe a bit of a curveball, but we've seen a lot of foreign international students and work permit holders step forward during the pandemic and help out their local health facilities, so I'd be interested to get that information.

But at Seneca, a class of recent graduates stepped forward, over 200 of them, the majority of whom were international students. I can understand why

We made quite a number of changes for international students, including allowing them to work full time if they're in an essential

Human Resources committee  Okay. We know the contribution that international students are making to our economy and our institutions. In my riding, at Seneca College 200 students have stepped forward to join the front-line health workers. The majority of them are international students. I want

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Minister. I know how committed you are to supporting international students. You were at one of my Zoom meetings and talked to the international students face to face. Thank you very much for that as well. International students, when they graduate, are entitled

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Minister. It's very nice to see you at the committee, online. As you know, I have a particular interest in international students. Our public universities, such as Seneca in my riding, rely heavily on international student revenues. While

Human Resources committee  I'll go very quickly. We made a whole range of policy changes in support of international students, including those who cannot enter Canada. They are allowed to study up to 50% of their coursework abroad. What's your comment on that? What do you hear from your membership

Human Resources committee  Thank you very much, Chair. I want to thank all the witnesses for coming today and answering all these great questions with very good answers. I want to go to Mr. Faye first and talk about international students. In my previous role, I was a provincial member and helped roll

Human Resources committee  Yes, they support such a large portion of our economy. I think it's fair to say that it's unfair to a lot of international students. Respecting the difference in jurisdiction, we know that higher education is mainly under provincial jurisdiction, but the federal government has

Human Resources committee  Thank you, Minister, for keeping that in consideration going forward, because I know, from talking to international students, that is perhaps the number one issue they would like some help with. Around the world, we see that COVID-19 brings out the best in people as well

For example, in Parkway Forest there are lots of young professionals and recent graduates who went through the study permit program, and they are looking at the provincial nominee program as a pathway to citizenship.
