| M-130 — April 24, 2006 — Mr. Siksay (Burnaby—Douglas) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should immediately implement an in-Canada program to allow conscientious objectors and their immediate family members, in particular those from the United States of America, who have refused or left military service related to the war in Iraq, to apply to remain and work in Canada and, after a period of two years, be eligible for permanent resident status; and that the government should immediately cease any removal or deportation actions that may have already commenced against such individuals. |
| M-131 — April 24, 2006 — Mr. Siksay (Burnaby—Douglas) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should immediately cease any action that seeks the recovery of costs related to the default of an immigration sponsorship agreement in cases where there has been documented family breakdown, divorce, or criminal charges or convictions for spousal abuse; and, where necessary, negotiate with provincial governments to ensure the implementation of this policy. |
| M-132 — April 24, 2006 — Mr. Dhaliwal (Newton—North Delta) — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should initiate negotiations on reciprocal pension agreements with China, India, and other Pacific Rim countries, from which many of our newcomers of retirement age are emigrating, in order to eliminate the 10-year residency requirement that many of these people must satisfy in order to become eligible for the Canada Pension Plan. |
