I also asked about the promised visa processing centre in Islamabad to help alleviate the unacceptable delays for applications coming from Pakistan. @MarcMillerVM states that officers are now in place. @SenateCA #Pakistan

Today, I asked @MarcMillerVM what measures his government is taking to address the indiscriminate immigration issue of lack of required security checks on international student visa applicants, as well as measures to curb rising anti-immigration sentiments in Canada. @SenateCA

It was such a pleasure to speak at the @CanNepChamber monthly business networking session. It is a great initiative to bring together a diverse group of local entrepreneurs, business leaders, and community members.

Today I rose @SenateCA to ask how the government can justify denying study permits to qualified, driven and hard-working Afghan women, such as Farzana, who have completed a rigorous admission process in Canada. #Afghanistan

I am heartbroken to learn of yet another act of senseless violence in Canada. Three people have been injured by a suspect armed with a knife in a Montreal Islamic cultural centre today. #Islamophobia has no place in Canada.

The GTA is feeling increasingly unsafe. Just a few weeks ago, the York Regional Police reported a 92% increase in shootings and a 106% increase in carjackings this year. Today I rose @SenateCA to ask the government what it is doing to keep Canadians safe.

The NDP-Liberal government has failed to build enough home for Canadians and rent remains unaffordable across the GTA. Today I rose @SenateCA to ask when we will finally see a meaningful reduction of the cost of rent in Canada.

Saddened to hear about the passing of our former colleague, Chuck Strahl. My thoughts are with his friends and family during this difficult time.
