On Thursday of this week there will be a report done. So within four days, that's it. If your name--the Canadian Arab Federation, for example--is not on the list by now, it's too late. You probably will not have a chance to come in front of the immigration committee. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1106901\" data-originallang=\"en\">Having said that, the NDP has a motion in front of both this committee and the immigration committee asking for cross-country consultation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1106902\" data-originallang=\"en\">What is your opinion of that? Should we take more time to study these complex immigration changes?</p>",
