Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're good with option one.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. There have been things that have come to light after that report came out from the Afghan committee, so I think Ms. Kwan's motion is very concise and very clear. We need to continue to stand up for those who are being persecuted, because a lot of them hav

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I agree with my friend Alexis. I think we should just go to a vote on this one, and Ms. Kwan's proposed motion as well. I think everyone's pretty clear on their position.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  My next question is for Ms. Foster. We've seen major labour shortages that are affecting the tourism industry. We have also seen a number of very divisive and unscientific policies by the government, for example, the ArriveCAN app. Can you give some more examples of red tape or

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. My first question is for Ms. Launay. First of all, thank you for all that you do, and the advocacy with the limited resources as my friend, Alexis, mentioned. We were talking about systemic challenges. We saw over the summer a number of conferences and

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to all the witnesses. Thank you for all the work that you are doing to help people come here, especially the persecuted ones. My first question is for both Mr. Allos and Mr. Thorne. I'll continue with the line of some of the questions. We'v

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Thorne, thank you. I'm sorry to cut you off. I want to ask you one more thing, and we only have about 30 seconds. I want to get your thoughts on this. You were at the special committee on Afghanistan. Many recommendations were passed there. Could you please give this committ

Citizenship and Immigration committee  When was that?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for that. That's something that we keep hearing. You mentioned about no transparency. This is a huge issue for the translators and the people who served Canada—the Afghans who served Canada. This is what we keep hearing. We know through testimony in the Afghan committ

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think you raised a really good point. That's why I asked in the beginning if you worked for the embassy. In my opinion, you're clearly someone who should have fallen under that program. In your opinion, given the timeline and now the record of this government, do you see that

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We, and certain veterans groups, have been calling on single-journey documents for people to help speed up this process, because we know there's a bureaucratic mess right now in IRCC, caused by the government. Do you think it would help for people to get here?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for being here. Mr. Shajjan, you worked for the embassy. Is that correct?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  What was your experience during that time? Can you explain a little bit about when Kabul was falling? Perhaps we can get a little bit more information on what your experience was dealing with IRCC before the fall and then after the fall.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The time's going to be passed to Mr. Benzen.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I want to ask your opinion on whether it's the economic side of things, or whether it's the social side of things, where you see a net benefit from this. Whether it's the family side of it, or the processing side of it, would there be a net benefit from the current bill the way i
