Replying to Melissa Lantsman (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, for all of those who are watching at home, who have been terrorized by IRGC officials who are still here, one of whom has been deported, this man, a FIFA official, was allowed to come to Canada because somebody in her department allowed him to. I have asked the minister a simple question. Is she satisfied with that outcome, yes or no, for everybody watching at home?”
