Pierre Poilievre, Battle River—Crowfoot
Linked statement
“Foreign regimes and criminals are causing violence and fear in Canada, especially against Persian Canadians. I want the government to create the foreign agent registry. I also want it to kick out all Iranian regime officials and stop new ones from entering the country.”
“Mr. Speaker, for over a century and a half, Canadians took for granted that when people came here from around the world, they left their problems behind. Foreign wars stayed on the other side of the pond, but after a decade of Liberal immigration, Liberal borders, Liberal catch-and-release crime and Liberal terror laws, those problems are coming here. Harassment, intimidation, guns for hire, shootings at homes, businesses and schools and foreign regimes paying for attacks on Canadian soil have become a regular story. Canada’s Persian community is one of the prime victims. The media reports that there are 700 IRGC-linked officials on the ground, and many more who are part of that regime, who continue to terrorize people and use the plunder they stole from the Iranian people. It is time for real action. Finally set up the foreign agent registry, kick out all of the IRGC and other regime officials and prevent new ones from coming in. Then, and only then, will we make Canada safe at home and restore the promise here at home.”
