Dissenting View of the Conservative Members of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration to the Study relating to Bill C-37

The Conservative members of the committee would like to point out that Canadian parents of a stateless child can sponsor their child to receive a one-way travel document to Canada from any embassy overseas, and immediately after sponsor that child for permanent residence, without observing any waiting period. As such we question the inclusion of the final phrase of the second paragraph on page 5.
