“The government cannot track who leaves Canada. The immigration minister does not know either. If the Prime Minister does not think she is doing a good job, he should fire her.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has said that our immigration system is “under control”. Ordinary Canadians know this is not true. For example, in Canada, we have no idea who is here or not here, because the government has no way of tracking who is leaving the country or when they leave. When asked about this yesterday, the immigration minister said she wondered the same thing. The Prime Minister appointed this immigration minister. He kept her in her job. He meets with her on a weekly basis. He believes the immigration system is under control. Clearly, she is simply following the Prime Minister’s orders. Can the Prime Minister confirm that this minister is doing a good job implementing his own ideas, or if not, why does he not just fire her?”
