In the recent cabinet reshuffle, Honourable Marc Miller has succeeded Sean Fraser as the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.
“Born and raised in Montreal, he represents the riding of Ville-Marie-Le Sud-Ouest-Île-des-Sœurs.”
“The Honourable Marc Miller was first elected in 2015 as the Member of Parliament for Ville-Marie—Le Sud-Ouest—Île-des-Sœurs, in Montréal. He has previously served as Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and as Minister of Indigenous Services”.
“Before entering politics, Minister Miller was a practising lawyer. He specialized in mergers and acquisitions, with a focus on international and commercial law, and worked in Montréal, Stockholm, and New York City. Previously, he served as an infantry soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces.”
“Minister Miller made history in 2017 when he delivered a statement in the House of Commons entirely in Mohawk, marking the first time the language had been spoken in either the House of Commons or Senate since Confederation. He has also been a forceful advocate for increased federal investment in affordable housing, public transit, and the Canada Child Benefit”.
“Minister Miller has been involved in several charitable and pro bono legal initiatives. He has also authored articles on constitutional and human rights law”.
“Minister Miller is a graduate of the Université de Montréal, where he earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Political Science. He graduated from McGill University with Common Law and Civil Law degrees”.
We hope that the new minister can work to fast-track permanent residency applications and deliver significant outcomes for immigrants in Canada.
