Michelle Rempel Garner Conservative
“The Prime Minister is hiding details about an open borders deal with the European Union. He will not let his immigration minister answer questions about it. I want to know how many more non-citizens will enter Canada under this deal, who they will be, and how this will affect the provinces.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think it is very telling that the Prime Minister will not even let his immigration minister give basic details about an open borders pact with the EU. If he has nothing to hide, why will he not let her stand up? The reality is he made an announcement in the European parliament. He is not giving our press gallery details about it in our papers or in interviews here. Canadians deserve answers. How many more non-citizens will come into the country? What will be the categories of non-citizens and what does this mean for provinces, like Alberta or Quebec, that are asking for more control over immigration levels?”
