Replying to Brad Redekopp (Conservative)

“However, Mr. Chair, it did not with immigration consultants, so I take it the minister has no concerns about immigration consultants. One category of people who did not have to enter fraudulently was IRGC terrorists. The government blindly approved these applications. How many permits have been flagged for review because of potential connections to IRGC regime officials?”
