"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2722012\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the backlog in Canada's immigration system is an issue that greatly concerns the New Democratic Party of Canada. There are over one million applications currently in the queue. This represents an increase from the 850,000 applications in the backlog in 2006. Notably, backlogs are present in all three immigration categories: economic, family and refugee.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722013\" data-originallang=\"en\">The presence of backlogs has a direct and negative effect on the amount of time it takes to process an application, and indeed wait times have reached patently unacceptable levels. Unfortunately, we believe that the majority report misses the mark in making progress in this important area. New Democrats have provided a supplemental report that we believe will provide many effective solutions to this very serious matter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722014\" data-originallang=\"en\">The situation is pressing. There are very real impacts on individuals and families. Significant application fees are being held for years on end. Families remain separated. Employers are frustrated and our economy suffers. We all need to work together to fix these pressing problems.</p>",

Il y a actuellement plus d\u2019un million de demandes en attente. Ce chiffre repr\u00e9sente une hausse par rapport \u00e0 2006, o\u00f9 850 000 demandes \u00e9taient en attente de traitement. Fait important \u00e0 noter, les trois cat\u00e9gories d\u2019immigration sont vis\u00e9es: \u00e9conomique, familiale et r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722013\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'arri\u00e9r\u00e9 dans le syst\u00e8me a une incidence directe et n\u00e9gative sur le temps requis pour traiter une demande. En fait, les temps d\u2019attente ont atteint des niveaux manifestement inacceptables. Nous sommes d'avis que, malheureusement, le rapport majoritaire ne propose rien pour r\u00e9aliser des progr\u00e8s dans ce domaine important. Les n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates ont r\u00e9dig\u00e9 un rapport suppl\u00e9mentaire qui, \u00e0 leur sens, contient de nombreuses solutions efficaces \u00e0 ce probl\u00e8me tr\u00e8s grave.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722014\" data-originallang=\"en\">La situation est urgente. Les r\u00e9percussions se font v\u00e9ritablement sentir sur des particuliers et des familles. Des frais de demande \u00e9lev\u00e9s sont retenus pendant des ann\u00e9es. Des familles restent s\u00e9par\u00e9es. Des employeurs sont contrari\u00e9s, et notre \u00e9conomie en souffre. Nous devons tous travailler ensemble pour r\u00e9gler ces probl\u00e8mes urgents.</p>"

This disappointment is often compounded by bewilderment because they are not given detailed reasons for the denial. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722020\" data-originallang=\"en\">One in five applications for a visitor visa is denied, but when we look at various Canadian missions around the world, we see a great disparity. For example, in Lagos and Nairobi, 45% of the applications are rejected. In Chandigarh, India, over half of the visitor visa applications are denied. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722021\" data-originallang=\"en\">The very least we could do when denying a visa to visit Canada is tell people why the application was denied. This initiative would help Canadians and people around the world understand our immigration system better, provide transparency and greater accountability.

Je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170303\" href=\"/politicians/sadia-groguhe/\" title=\"Sadia Groguh\u00e9\">Saint-Lambert</a> d'appuyer mon projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722019\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tous les jours au Canada, des habitants apprennent que leurs proches ont vu leur demande de visa refus\u00e9e. Pour ces Canadiens, la perplexit\u00e9 vient souvent s'ajouter \u00e0 la d\u00e9ception, car les d\u00e9tails de cette d\u00e9cision ne leur sont pas transmis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722020\" data-originallang=\"en\">En moyenne, une demande de visa de visiteur sur cinq est refus\u00e9e. On note toutefois de grandes disparit\u00e9s lorsque l'on compare les diff\u00e9rentes missions canadiennes dans le monde. Par exemple, 45 p. 100 des demandes provenant de Lagos ou de Nairobi sont refus\u00e9es, alors qu'\u00e0 Chandigarh, en Inde, plus de la moiti\u00e9 sont rejet\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722021\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le moins qu'on puisse faire quand une demande de visa de visiteur est rejet\u00e9e, c'est d'expliquer les raisons de ce refus. Ce projet de loi vise \u00e0 aider les Canadiens et les gens de partout dans le monde \u00e0 mieux comprendre notre syst\u00e8me d'immigration, \u00e0 en accro\u00eetre la transparence et \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la reddition de comptes.

For many Canadians, gathering together with family for holidays, birthdays, weddings, funerals, and other special events, this means receiving visitors from overseas. Unfortunately, as I have just stated, one in five visitors will have his or her application rejected and in numerous embassies around the world, over 50% will be rejected. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722024\" data-originallang=\"en\">I rise today to introduce a bill that would establish an appeal process for temporary resident visa applicants who have been refused a visa to enter Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722025\" data-originallang=\"en\">The visitor visa approval system is, by design, subjective and often comes down to a judgment call on behalf of the visa officer. The lack of clear criteria is confusing to many prospective visitors and rejections can be arbitrary, erroneous and unfair. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722026\" data-originallang=\"en\">This bill would provide an appeal so that there would be transparency and clear standards for all applicants. Such appeal tribunals are already available to visitors in England and Australia.

Malheureusement, comme je viens tout juste de le dire, un cinqui\u00e8me des demandes sont rejet\u00e9es.

L'Angleterre et l'Australie disposent d\u00e9j\u00e0 de tels tribunaux d'appel.

"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2722057\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I forgot I had a second petition. This petition is on a different subject.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722058\" data-originallang=\"en\">This petition is in connection with the marine rescue coordination centre in St. John's. The government has announced its closure. The petitioners are asking the government to reverse its decision to close the Newfoundland and Labrador marine rescue coordination centre in St. John's. We have heard from other petitioners before on the same topic. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722059\" data-originallang=\"en\">The petitioners are urging the government to acknowledge and understand that the closure of the centre will mean services will suffer and lives will be put at risk. This is related to the fact that the rescue coordinators have a special, unique knowledge of the ocean and the areas of the coastline that are involved and are familiar with the people who are involved in the work on the ocean, as well as the language and dialect. This is important in times of panic. They indicate that the Newfoundland and Labrador region has the highest proportion of distress incidents in Canada, responding to an annual average of 500 incidents involving 2,900 people, and saving the lives of 600 people in distress every year. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2722057\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai oubli\u00e9 que j'avais une deuxi\u00e8me p\u00e9tition. Elle porte sur un autre sujet.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722058\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cette p\u00e9tition concerne le centre de coordination de sauvetage maritime situ\u00e9 \u00e0 St. John's, dont le gouvernement a annonc\u00e9 la fermeture. Les signataires demandent au gouvernement de revenir sur sa d\u00e9cision de fermer ce centre. Ce n'est pas la premi\u00e8re p\u00e9tition \u00e0 ce sujet que nous recevons.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2722059\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les p\u00e9titionnaires demandent instamment au gouvernement de comprendre et de reconna\u00eetre que la fermeture du centre entra\u00eenera une d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration des services qui mettra des vies en danger, parce que ceux qui coordonnent les op\u00e9rations de sauvetage ont une connaissance pointue et unique de l'oc\u00e9an et des zones c\u00f4ti\u00e8res de la r\u00e9gion ainsi que des gens qui travaillent en mer, de leur fa\u00e7on de s'exprimer et de leur dialecte. C'est un facteur important dans les moments o\u00f9 il faut agir vite. Ils pr\u00e9cisent que, toutes proportions gard\u00e9es, c'est dans la r\u00e9gion de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador que surviennent le plus grand nombre de cas de d\u00e9tresse au pays. Chaque ann\u00e9e, on compte environ 500 cas touchant 2 900 personnes et on r\u00e9ussit \u00e0 sauver la vie de 600 personnes en d\u00e9tresse.</p>"
