As soon as we heard about the report, we made a point of watching it. I have to tell you I was surprised because universities have neither the means nor the power to conduct background checks. The federal government, that is, IRCC, has the power and the means to find out if applicants who want to come to Canada have a criminal record or other problems.
We are willing to co-operate with IRCC, and have been for four years, to help identify individuals that, according to the department, should not be in Canada and to find out if such people are actually here. We'll continue to do that as long as IRCC wants to work with us, but the department is the one with that power, not universities.
