Privilege

NDP member Jenny Kwan raised a question of privilege, saying the immigration minister told a committee of the whole that Gaza student visa applications would be processed within about ten days, and that the minister’s staff have since said that was not accurate. She asked that the matter be referred to a committee to investigate whether the minister misled the House. The Conservatives asked to respond to the question of privilege at a later time, and the Green member said she agreed the matter is serious and should be fully investigated.Written by AI from the debate.

“I agree with the member for Vancouver East. What she brought up is serious, and it should be investigated completely.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, to the point of order raised by the hon. member and the question of privilege raised by the hon. member for Vancouver East, having been in those discussions on the main estimates, and I know I do not need to reacquaint you, Mr. Speaker, I note the serious nature of those committee of the whole sessions. I am very troubled by what the hon. member for Vancouver East has detailed in what she has documented, and I hope this matter will be investigated thoroughly.
