Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. We are looking at regularization initiatives that have been undertaken in other countries. Recently, there were some in Italy, Ireland and other countries, so we're looking at all of those, I would say. Right now, the main difference is that those regularization initiatives tend to be at the temporary resident stage rather than at the permanent resident stage.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  On behalf of the committee members, I would like to thank Associate Deputy Minister Harris, Assistant Deputy Minister Kingsley, Director General Anson and Acting Assistant Commissioner Burchill. Thank you for being with us. We appreciate your time. I'll let you go. Before I adjourn the meeting, I want to remind all members that the clerk has distributed a calendar with activities for February and March.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  From the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, we have Mr. Scott Harris, associate deputy minister; and Madame Michèle Kingsley, assistant deputy minister, economic, family and social immigration. From the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, we have Chief Superintendent Richard Burchill, who is the acting assistant commissioner, federal policing criminal operations.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Brunelle-Duceppe. I want to bring to the attention of committee members that we have with us Ms. Kingsley and Ms. May, officials from IRCC. If there is no consent for them to appear before us, I have to let them go. They can appear some other time. Therefore, I would like to get direction from the committee regarding consensus.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Great. We will continue the debate. Thank you. I'm sorry, Ms. Kingsley and Ms. May. Thank you for coming and being here as scheduled. We'll make sure that our clerk contacts you to come back to share your thoughts with us at some other point in time. Thank you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The floor is open to the panellists. Go ahead, Ms. Kingsley.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Ms. Kingsley.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In fact, we are doing that in the sense that on the website “How to report fraud” we did include new instructions. We have updated that website so that genuine students, who feel like they have been impacted by fraud, can signal that to the department. The task force will in fact review those cases.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Ms. Kingsley, you were talking about current numbers in response to Ms. Jenny Kwan. Do you want to add something, because you didn't have an opportunity?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Ms. Kingsley.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Actually, I would say there was a question about those who had departed prior to their findings of inadmissibility. When we met with the committee in June, we thought that was 10 people. It was, in fact, 13. The task force has reviewed those cases, and six have been found to be genuine; seven have been found not to be genuine.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  On behalf of the committee members, and as their chair, I want to thank Assistant Deputy Minister Kingsley and Vice-President McCrorie for appearing. Thank you for the great work your team is doing—the very best to you. The meeting is adjourned.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We have Mr. McCrorie or Ms. Kingsley.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think the minister spoke about this earlier. We're looking at the program broadly. We're looking at enhanced integrity measures. We're looking to a recognized institution model to make sure that institutions that are really stepping up and providing supports are benefiting from priority processing.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Madam Kingsley, give a short answer, please.
