Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
During question period on immigration, Conservatives asked about a temporary resident permit the immigration minister issued to Mehdi Taj, who they said was a commander in Iran’s regime, and asked why he was allowed into Canada and why the minister had not answered for it. The Liberal minister, Gary Anandasangaree, replied each time that senior Iranian officials and IRGC members are inadmissible to Canada, that the government works with border and law enforcement agencies to keep Canadians safe, and that privacy laws prevented him from commenting on an individual case. The exchange remained on this back-and-forth, with Conservatives pressing for an explanation and the minister repeating that he could not discuss the specific case.Written by AI from the debate.
