Canadian leader backs visa office in Mumbai, official status for Punjabi

September 29th, 2008 - 1:32 pm ICT by IANS -

Toronto, Sep 29 (IANS) Canadian opposition leader Jack Layton has promised support for a new visa office in Mumbai and official status for the Punjabi language in Canada if he becomes prime minister after the Oct 14 polls.Jack, whose New Democratic Party (NDP) has fielded a record 14 Indian Canadian candidates to woo the million-strong community, said his party will also roll back a newly passed immigration bill that the community finds discriminatory.

India will be a priority nation for his government if it comes to power and he will visit New Delhi at the earliest, Layton told IANS in an interview.

Layton noted that given the increasing influence of India in the international business and political realms and the increasing number of immigration applications in India, “it would only make sense to expand our diplomatic and administrative presence in India.

“A visa office in Mumbai is one way that increased presence could be realized and my party government will be open to studying the merits of this proposal,” Layton added.

He said that if he becomes prime minister, “I would look forward to visiting India early in my term to discuss a variety of opportunities that exist to strengthen ties between our countries”.

Layton also made clear his displeasure over a new bill that nixes India’s chances of becoming the number one source of immigration to Canada.

“When the Conservative government tried to sneak through unfair changes to our immigration system, my party stood up and said no. We were very disappointed that other opposition Liberal Party did not stand with us and instead abstained and let Prime Minister Harper get his way. The only way to stop these changes is to send more NDP MPs to parliament,” he contended.

Noting that the NDP had a “better plan” to ensure fairness, boost Canada’s productivity and ease family reunification, Layton added: “My party launched the Creating Fair Opportunities plan to recognize foreign professionals. We fought for ending end punishing processing fees on refugees and immigrant women and children escaping domestic violence.

“We tabled legislation to allow any citizen or landed immigrant to sponsor one family member from outside the family classification for immigration,” he pointed out.

Layton replied in the affirmative when asked whether he would support demands that Punjabi, which the latest census says is the fastest growing language in Canada, be given official status.

“We are aware of the growing number of Punjabi-speaking Canadians and appreciate their rich legacy to Canadian history. We are committed to having their valuable contribution recognized by Canada.

“This includes ensuring services in Punjabi, recognizing it as being the fourth most spoken language in Canada. Already, we have seen some cities and municipalities putting up street signs and store signs in Punjabi.

There is also a rise in the number of public schools and universities offering courses in Punjabi. We welcome it and will encourage more such initiatives,” Layton said.

Greens...their the greens so who gives two shits. Already caught May in a flip flops. She said bans don't work hence her 'liberal' attitude towards DRUGS and yet she said, ban all handguns.

Someone called her on it and she ran away from the camera. I watched it on CPAC, then she lied saying, well, I never said bans don't work..they cut to the clip of her saying drug bans, and other prohibitions do NOT work.

so whats left?


normal or complete idiocy!!!!!

Reverend Blair Reverend Blair:

What's Harper done for us, Meaden? The markets are in free-fall and his plan is basically to sing, "Don't worry, be happy." Oil prices are down, potash is down...all of the raw materials are down, and Harper is saying that everything is just dandy. Ontario has been crashing for months, and Harper's answer is that...well he doesn't really have an answer.

Every other leader has some kind of plan. Harper's plan is to do nothing and deny there's a problem.

Falling commodity prices have absolutely nothing to do with the Canadian government. Commodity prices are falling because the global economy is going into a recession and there is massive liquidation of hedge funds.

The plans that you are seeing around the world are responses to the collapse of those nations' banks and financial companies. It is unlikely that Canadian banks will likewise collapse because they are better capitalized.

But a real estate meltdown in Canada is coming, and so is tightening of credit.

That's why we need layton to nationalize everything and rn the government like his hero Chaves

Ya raise the tax on the only industry that's providing huge job opportunities and tax revenues. Good plan.

Taxes are used by the most inefficient spenders of hard earned money, government lackies.

PC lackies lack less than the rest of the lackies.

Over and out.

[ridenrain]

The Liberals's secret agenda:
Tax & spend, tax & spend, tax & spend.
Nothing that befalls man cannot be solved with a new government agency and a tax to pay for it.

the conservatives and republicans claim they are economic geniuses but they always put the countries deep into debt.

are you like 4? the liberals left a huge surplus.. 2.5 yrs of harper and its gone..oh ya thats fiscal responsibilty for ya.. un huh.. duh!

like the current global economic situation has anything to do with Harper, or any sitting PM for that matter.


And I wouldn't talk about fiscally responsibly and liberal in the same sentence or have you forgotten about the carbon tax, increased GST and personnel income tax?

or perhaps maybe you just think cash in brown paper bags is a normal part of running a country??

[Reverend Blair]

$1:

he conservatives and republicans claim they are economic geniuses but they always put the countries deep into debt.

Yup.

The other part of this equation is that Harper has made no secret for his preference for the same kind of privatization and deregulation that lead to this melt down in the first place.

During this campaign Harper has been looking a whole lot like Alfred E. Neuman. "What, me worry."

Now he's writing policy on the back of a napkin because his numbers are slipping.

[uwish]

hahahahahahaahha

coming from the no plan socialists

hahahahahah if taliban jack were the PM we'd already be broke and criminals would be living in your homes due to their 'unfortunate' position in society that they are not responsible for

[Tracker]

When questioning Layton today, a reporter nearly took the words out of my mouth, or, the words I posted in this thread. Scare Tactics. Because THAT is exactly what Layton is using. It's shameful.

[ziggy]

I thought he was going to pop when they labeled him a fearmongerer.
good stuff.
