Thank you, Chair.
Minister, I'm reflecting on the answers you gave me 10 minutes ago.
In 2016 there were just over 200 asylum claims made by Mexican nationals who arrived in Canada with a visa. Last year that number had surged into the tens of thousands. The numbers at the air borders especially are increasing exponentially. There's been about a 2000% increase.
When I asked you a direct question on that specifically, you couldn't provide me with a single thing the government has done since 2016.
Last month or the month before, you said the immigration system was out of control. Is this an example of its being out of control?
