Human Resources committee  Only two. I have two in my paper, which I believe you will get shortly.

Human Resources committee  Yes. Of course, by simply reducing both the residency period and the sponsorship obligation period to three years, all key matters relating to provincial social assistance programs and the challenging task of determining what situation of hardship involving a senior meets the test of genuine sponsorship breakdown, and which do not, are immediately addressed.

Human Resources committee  Honourable Chairman, committee members, and guests, I want to thank you individually and collectively for giving us, particularly the African Seniors Advocacy Network members, this opportunity to bring this issue forward to you today. We are very pleased to see support across the party lines for this particular bill, Bill C-362, which was brought forward by Colleen Beaumier.
