Citizenship and Immigration committee  My question is going to be along the lines of the approach to settlement really being an entire community-driven approach. It's not just the responsibility of the service-providing organizations, but also of the economic development agencies, the communities and the employers all

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm asking for your recommendation on how to strengthen the law and the bill to satisfy Amnesty's view of it.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Mohammed, you just said that when a person is determined to come to a country, before we can remove them, they go through a PRRA. What we're seeing here is that anybody who is part of this cohort—of previously claiming asylum in another safe third country—would not only get a

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Canada would rely on the advice of the UNHCR as to which countries would be deemed safe for asylum seekers. That's been a long-standing tradition of Canada to ensure that we rely on these international agencies with the expertise they have to help us make those types of determina

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Can I ask you both for concluding comments on the measures the government has taken other than this particular measure—which has been met differently by both of your organizations—that are helping address issues of irregular migration around the world and those who are displaced

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Can that be sanctioned?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If that were the case, wouldn't the strengthened PRRA determine that person wouldn't be sent back? I'll ask the same question that I asked your colleague earlier. If that process were more clearly articulated and the adequate safeguards were in place to ensure a type of hearing

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Ms. Sadrehashemi, if these provisions are given a guarantee through regulation, would that satisfy? Is there a way this could be strengthened to ensure that the enhanced PRRA guarantees an in-person hearing for those who would be part of this cohort who wouldn't be given access t

Citizenship and Immigration committee  To be fair, regulations can also be strengthened much more easily than other methods, as well.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  You mentioned the potential gender impact. Do you have any evidence to suggest that it would be women and girls who would be adversely affected by this, specifically given that the international UN agency still considers the U.S. to be a safe third country and that they have a ma

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I wonder, Mr. Leuprecht and Monsieur Beuze, if you could clarify the following for me, because I've heard Ms. Rempel mention the need for Canada's leadership on global asylum reform. I've heard her talk about the need for Canada to be at the table, talking and engaging with the w

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Leuprecht, I'm sorry, but are these conversations taking place when countries get together at the global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  They form part of the document. Is that not part of Canada's leadership on these very issues?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, I'm asking you a question about an earlier comment on the need for Canada's to lead on global asylum reform and safe third country agreements around the world. Monsieur Beuze, does that form part of the conversation of the global compact?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Would it be fair to say then that the fearmongering on that issue that we saw from the Conservative leader before Christmas completely contradicts what his critic is saying right now on an area where Canada needs to take leadership? You don't need to answer that. Monsieur Beuze
