Public Safety

During question period on public safety, Conservative MP Michael Chong asked about Iranian regime agents in Canada, citing a search warrant tied to shootings at a Toronto synagogue and the U.S. consulate, and noting that of roughly 30 operatives the government said a year ago were subject to removal, only one has reportedly been deported. He also asked how the government could take foreign interference seriously given its strategic partnership with China. Parliamentary secretary Jacques Ramsay responded that the government reviewed 18,000 Iranian visas, screened men of military age, opened 280 investigations, and identified 30 people who may have to leave Canada, and offered condolences for Constable Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed while investigating shootings in Toronto. Parliamentary secretary Peter Fragiskatos noted the IRGC was listed as a terrorist entity in 2024 and said law enforcement and the Canada Border Services Agency are handling removals in accordance with the law.Written by AI from the debate.
