Dear Ms. Marx:



I am forwarding to you a discussion paper for the Selection process of a Regulator for Immigration consultants entitled “The Dangers and the Dilemma”.



My discussion paper is meant to provide an insight into some of the startling matters that grew out of the original agreement that allowed CSIC to become the Regulator and why, in my opinion, Self-Regulation is no longer feasible unless, what I refer to as the “hammer” is used by The Honourable Jason Kenny, Minister of Immigration, and P.C.



I have a very unique view, with respect, on the operations of CSIC from within and out. I served on the Educational and Standards Committee, the Discipline Committee and was a founding Director of CAPIC. I wrote, over the years, many articles on matters that affected the industry. Needless to say, I have become extremely dismayed over the inability of Immigration Consultants to regulate themselves and have suggested that, unless the Honourable Minister can obtain an agreement from both the Boards of CSIC and CAPIC, he will be jumping from the frying pan into the fire and this matter that has plagued many Minister’s before him, will not be solved.



If I can answer any further questions or be of any other use in this process, please do not hesitate to call me at your convenience.



Yours truly,
