“The immigration minister let Mehdi Taj come to Canada with a special permit, even though he was a commander in Iran's terrorist regime. The government has already let hundreds of other Iranian officials into the country. Why did the minister let this terrorist in?”
“Mr. Speaker, when someone has been denied entry into Canada, a temporary resident permit is their last resort. The Minister of Immigration recently issued one of these permits to Mehdi Taj, and he landed in Toronto this week. Anybody who knows how to google can quickly figure out that this man is a former commander of the murderous Iranian regime, which is listed as a terrorist entity in Canada. The immigration department has already let in hundreds of other IRGC officials, who are roaming free in Canada, leaving Canadians feeling unsafe. Why did the minister give a terrorist who is part of a murderous death cult the green light to come to Canada?”
