Friends and colleagues at migrant rights organizations are calling again on the Liberals to agree to a broad and inclusive regularization program. I and my colleagues fully support this call.
Regularization provides individuals who don’t have a recognized immigration status with legal status again.

Dear Minister Qualtrough,
I am writing to request that your department investigate whether Youth for Christ (YFC) Winnipeg violated its Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program attestation. As the MP for Winnipeg Centre where YFC Winnipeg is located, I am concerned by reports that its policies have excluded 2SLGBTQ youth from accessing its recreational facilities, and prevented staff and volunteers from openly identifying as 2SLGBTQ.
Minister Fraser,
We wrote to you on June 15, 2022, to bring your attention to the lengthy processing times constituents across the country are facing in obtaining refugee travel documents and Certificates of Identity. We have yet to receive a response, and the situation has only worsened.
