There is definitely a problem with the Canadian justice system regarding migrant workers rights.
Mr. Chair, I don't know if it's the right time to say this, but could we ask the immigration department to table the legal opinion they got from Justice Canada on the consequences of this? Could we ask Justice Canada to come and discuss the consequences in different government programs as well as their concerns regarding migrant workers rights?
I'm sure studies of this kind were conducted by Justice Canada. The committee could ask for copies to help us in our own study. If not, we could ask Justice officials to come before the committee. Since they are responsible at the international level and given the work being done on migrant workers rights -- DFAIT is also involved -- it would be helpful to meet officials from these departments and to have these opinions.
I think a study about this was commissioned two or three years ago. It would be helpful to get the results. I am suggesting this, Mr. Chair. Could we follow up on this matter and obtain copies of these studies?
