In response to a question from Lena Metlege Diab

“The minister did not answer my question. Have new cases of fraud been found, and have any permits been cancelled because of it?”

“Mr. Chair, the minister still did not answer whether there have been new cases of fraud found. Have there been new fraud cases with permits that have been nullified?”

“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?”

“The Minister of Immigration cannot do her job well. People have lost faith in her, and even some Liberal MPs want her gone. I want the Prime Minister to fire her.”

“Mr. Speaker, wow, I did not know that we had express entry for terrorists. It is clear that everyone has lost faith in the Minister of Immigration overseeing even the simplest parts of her job. This is the seventh Liberal immigration minister, and Conservatives knew from day one that she would make the mess worse. The media are now calling for the minister to be removed. Liberal MPs have called for this minister to be removed. This is now about the Prime Minister’s own judgment. She says that she meets with the Prime Minister every week. He seems oblivious to the mess she has created. Will the Prime Minister end this national embarrassment and fire this immigration minister?”

“The immigration minister let Mehdi Taj come to Canada with a special permit, even though he was a commander in Iran's terrorist regime. The government has already let hundreds of other Iranian officials into the country. Why did the minister let this terrorist in?”

“Mr. Speaker, when someone has been denied entry into Canada, a temporary resident permit is their last resort. The Minister of Immigration recently issued one of these permits to Mehdi Taj, and he landed in Toronto this week. Anybody who knows how to google can quickly figure out that this man is a former commander of the murderous Iranian regime, which is listed as a terrorist entity in Canada. The immigration department has already let in hundreds of other IRGC officials, who are roaming free in Canada, leaving Canadians feeling unsafe. Why did the minister give a terrorist who is part of a murderous death cult the green light to come to Canada?”

“A drug injection site in Saskatoon West caused problems and has now closed. I want the Minister of Health to promise not to approve a new drug injection site in Saskatoon.”

“Mr. Speaker, for years, residents and businesses in Saskatoon West warned the Liberals that the drug injection site was creating chaos and disorder in the community. The Liberals approved and funded the site, even though it was within 200 metres of a school. Now, the whole operation has collapsed into bankruptcy and closure. That should be the end of this failed experiment. Saskatoon needs hope, recovery, treatment and safety, not a new licence for the same disaster under different management. Will the Minister of Health give the people of Saskatoon West a clear answer today and promise that she will not approve a new drug injection site in Saskatoon?”
