Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't see a correlation between the call centre at IRCC and its regulation for the college.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're talking about improvement of the college bill, right?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  When we look at that, there was a mistake in the set-up right from the beginning, a system-inherent mistake. There was a corporation created under the CNCA. No powers were given for inside and outside Canada to do something against unauthorized practitioners—something law societi

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Well, this is a problem. I would say quite a few. Even for us, it's difficult to get hold of someone. Sometimes, we have to ask for the status of a case. In my opinion, there should be some thought put into how to improve this, more money and more trained staff. It's sometimes a

Then the second thing, which is on the government side as

Citizenship and Immigration committee  You're absolutely right, and that's what I'm saying. Basically, I think all parties should agree on this bill, because it's following the recommendations of CIMM.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Absolutely. I appreciate the question because a lot of the bad reputation that came up has been based on wrong statistics that have been disseminated by other groups, which are actually quite easy to verify but that didn't happen.
