MPs have limited direct influence over international student policy, but their policy talk about international students defines the context within which such policy is developed. For that reason Parliamentary debate deserves study. This paper examines MPs’ discussion of international students between 1984 and 2019, tracing themes in MP policy talk over the globalization era. It finds that MPs evince remarkably consistent attitudes towards international students. Throughout the period MP policy talk shows that Parliamentarians saw international students as outsiders who were only of value to the extent that they could be made to serve Canada’s economic or political agenda. The uniformity of this attitude and the lack of dissenting voices suggest that MPs’ views may be a significant barrier to reforming international student policy in Canada.  \nKeywords: international students, Parliament of Canada, international education policy, border imperialism, migrants  \nRésumé  \nBien qu’il existe une riche littérature critique sur la politique relative aux étudiants étrangers au Canada, très peu d’études se penchent sur les opinions des députés à ce sujet. L’influence directe de ces derniers en cette matière est limitée, maisleurs discussions définissent le contexte dans lequel cette politique est élaborée. Pour cette raison, les débats parlementaires méritent d’être étudiés. Le présent article examine les discussions des députés au sujet des étudiants étrangers entre 1984 et 2019. Ce faisant, il retrace les thèmes qui les ont traversées à travers l’époque de la mondialisation. Il en ressort que les députés font montre d’une attitude remarquablement cohérente en ce qui a trait aux étudiants étrangers. Sur toute la période, ces discussions démontrent que les parlementaires ne considèrent la valeur des étudiants étrangers que dans la mesure où ils peuvent servir le programme économique ou politique du Canada. La constance de cette attitude et l’absence de voix dissidentes suggèrent que les opinions des députés pourraient constituer un obstacle important à une réforme des politiques relatives aux étudiants étrangers au Canada.  \nMots-clés : étudiants étrangers, Parlement du Canada, politique d’éducation internationale, impérialisme frontalier, migrants  \nIntroduction  \nWhile there is a rich critical literature examining international student policy in Canada (e.g. , Beck, 2012; Johnstone & Lee, 2014, 2017 ; Stein, 2017b; Trilokekar & El Masri, 2016), very little of it considers the views of Members of Parliament (MPs) . This is not especially surprising given MPs are not that central to the policy making process regarding international students. Traditionally  \neducation policy in Canada is a Provincial responsibility, which means the Federal Parliament has limited jurisdiction; moreover, the connection between Parliamentary discussion—especially by opposition MPs—and actual policy production is somewhat tenuous. Nonetheless, parliamentary discussions are important because they speak to the broader political discourse within which international student policy is created. This is compounded by the role the Federal government plays in governing  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 50:4 (2020)   \ninternational students as (im)migrants (Brunner, 2017), and by the creation of a Federal international education strategy in 2014 (Government of Canada, 2014) .  \nDespite their limited direct impact on international student policy, MPs are influential figures whose attitudes deserve study.
