Stéphane Bergeron at the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee

I was saying that, during debate on Bill S‑8 at the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade last June, the issue arose of those 2,200 individuals who were sanctioned, but who would not be denied a visa to Canada. At that time, the government representative said 25 individuals who were sanctioned under various regimes were denied a visa.

So I would like to know whether, among those 2,200 individuals, some were granted a visa by the Canadian government.
