  1. The level for government-assisted refugees be restored to 13,000 and that this level be met;
  2. The AAP Program be provided with sufficient funds to ensure that the level can be met;
  3. To meet the 1993 level, the immediate families of accepted refugees already in Canada and those landed under the backlog be resettled immediately, whether or not they are in the family class.
