Citizenship and Immigration committee  I just want to respond quickly. There's been a lot of discussion about the complexities of regularizing people. Somehow it seems to be very complicated, yet under the low-skilled pilot project and the temporary foreign worker program, it takes a week to bring somebody here. In five days, with an LMO in a federal job bank, you can bring someone here.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  To answer some of those questions, one, there was a motion on the table, and why it wasn't supported.... Maybe people would call me too radical or whatever, but I think it's common sense. I don't get what there is to actually study in Bill C-50. It's bad. There's nothing qualitative that you have to weigh.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I just want to briefly touch upon three points. One is that I'm an organizer with the Immigrant Workers Center, and I'm speaking for Solidarity Across Borders. I think originally this forum was meant to take place in Côte-des-Neiges. It's regretful that it isn't there, because I don't think many of the people we work with, whether they be the domestic workers themselves or whether they be Sri Lankan migrants in textile factories--the people whom this is actually going to affect--are actually able to be here to present.
