Public Safety committee  Was there any particular part that you were interested in, Ms. Ablonczy, or just general comments?

Public Safety committee  If there were specific questions about that part, I would be happy to try and answer them.

Public Safety committee  It would help me if you could just identify the part you want me to comment on. As you know, I have quite a number of views on immigration issues, so I probably have some comments to offer.

Public Safety committee  I could make a couple of general comments about admissibility, though. We do have a problem of who we allow into the country. In fact, we bring in quite a few people who I don't think we screen properly, particularly from countries that produce a lot of extremists, such as Paki

Public Safety committee  Okay. Some argue that the NCCM's harping on victimology is to extract from government and society concessions that would enable hardline Muslims to advance an Islamic agenda. Usually when they charge an organization with stereotyping Muslims, they cave in. The CBC did it. The CI

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Chairman, and thank you, members of the committee. As I haven't addressed this committee before, I will begin by mentioning briefly my interest in Bill C-51 and my background on the subject of terrorist threats. In my career with the Department of Foreign Affairs, I

Public Safety committee  Can you hear me? It's Martin Collacott.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Also in 2003 Canada accepted more claims from Sri Lanka, a non-DCO country, than all the rest of the world put together. So clearly something needed to be corrected in our refugee determination, not just for DCO nationals but for non-DCOs. There is a high level of public support

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I've been getting the French translation at the same time, so I wasn't able to hear most of what Mr. Showler and Mr. Bissett said. It's also hard to hear myself speaking because of the French translation coming through. Can something be done about that be

Citizenship and Immigration committee  My eight minutes start from now I hope. I support the amendments to the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act. They give the provinces more flexibility without them losing funding. I think it's important to note that the proposed amendments will be another vital step in ens

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I certainly wasn't fed the French translation the last few times I spoke by video conference.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chairman, perhaps all of the feedback could be cut off, then, and I could just speak. I won't be getting any questions until I'm finished speaking anyway.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  On this specific question of revocation of citizenship because of involvement in terrorism? Is that the question, Mr. Shory?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Well, I think you've summed it up very well. We're not talking about people who have been charged with terrorism in some country that doesn't have a good legal system, and I think that's taken care of in the bill. We're talking about the very obvious cases of people who have gone

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, I agree with you. I think that message has to be sent. I might mention that in 2006 I published a paper wherein I recommended that people who are coming here to be naturalized take an oath saying that they won't commit a terrorist act. That particular recommendation wasn't ac
