On February 1, in his capacity as Chair of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, Mr. Tilson met with the delegation at the residence of the Swedish Ambassador to discuss immigration-related issues of importance to both Sweden and Canada.

On February 2, in his role as President of the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association, Mr. Tilson led an all-party group of Members of Parliament as they met with the Swedish Parliamentarians to discuss topics related to security and the proposed free trade agreement between Canada and the European Union.

We learn a great deal through these exchanges with respect to how our governments handle the problems facing our populations.”
