QUESTION PERIOD — Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Granting of Temporary Visas

May 16, 2023


Hon. Marie-Françoise Mégie

Thank you for your response, Senator Gold. If I may make a suggestion: In response to the humanitarian emergency in Haiti, the United States has taken a unilateral approach with its H-1B1 visa in order to welcome Haitian nationals.

In light of this humanitarian emergency, what is stopping Canada from taking such an approach?

Hon. Marc Gold (Government Representative in the Senate) [ + ]

Thank you for your question. I will bring your suggestion to the attention of the minister.
