Government Relationship and Costas Menegakis

The Canadian Press: The note says the other risk of undertaking such a study is that the government relationship with Quebec may surface as an issue, according to Toronto Star. And while the study only began last month and the committee has only just started hearing from witnesses, the briefing note also lays out five recommendations for its eventual report.A copy of the note was obtained by The Canadian Press. The House of Commons immigration committee is currently studying how government-funded settlement services can better help the economic integration of immigrants.A note which appears to have been prepared for Costas Menegakis, the parliamentary secretary for immigration, says the party base will learn as a result that the government spends close to $1 billion a year on those efforts. Menegakis’ office declined to comment specifically on the note contents. As always, we look forward to hearing testimony from all witnesses. Committee members are masters of their own proceedings, said an emailed statement. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
