Citizenship and Immigration committee  Again, it's the theme of communication. We need to do more outreach and communication with our own staff within CBSA to explain to them what this task force is doing and what the results of it are. What I would say is that under normal operating and policy considerations, it is

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We need to look into that. I'm newly aware of that issue, and we need to look into it.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't anticipate that the task force will meet with the students, although it may meet with officials to gather information about particular cases. In particular, if we don't have evidence that they attended a school, we will give people the opportunity to provide that informat

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Conceivably.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm going to turn to my colleague.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It will be hard for me to comment. I'm not familiar with those previous cases. What I would say is that I think the system is working as it should. There are safeguards in place to avoid issues, and I think you're absolutely right that there are unconscious biases and the potenti

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Again, I think we want to be very careful about the numbers. This is a live investigation. We are working with our IRCC colleagues in the task force in real time. What I would say is that the numbers are subject to change. Today I can tell you that 52 removal orders have been is

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's the best information available at that moment in time. That's what I would say.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Just bear in mind that the universe of potential people being removed from Canada is considerably larger than the 300 we're talking about or even the 52. However, with regard to the individuals implicated in this case, we're going to put them through the task force process to und

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would just say again that it's important for students who may suspect they have been provided with fraudulent documents to share that information with us so we can proactively launch additional investigations and tackle this problem.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you for the question. I'm not sure I understand that in terms of who sets out the rules. We provide our investigators with guidelines on how and when to conduct investigations. That is the function of our organization at CBSA. We are then seeking to ensure compliance with

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would say that our guidelines are constantly evolving. They're evolving in at least two different respects. One is, as I noted, that efforts or attempts to engage in fraud evolve over time, so we need to provide new and additional guidance to our frontline staff on detection te

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Absolutely, we're always trying to learn.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Especially around issues of systemic racism, it's a constant struggle. We always have to be focusing on that and asking ourselves the question of how we're doing as an organization. I would say that with the processes we have in place, though, we do have safeguards. Our system

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We received information indicating that an individual was possibly overstaying their time in Canada. That prompted us to look more deeply into their file, their circumstances and how they came into the country. I will not get into the specifics of the investigation, given that th
