Minister, I am not a Crown attorney right now. I am a parliamentarian asking the tough questions that Canadians want to know.
Why did our national security agency not flag this video eight years prior and use the image of this terrorist, if not killer, who was dismembering limbs from a person on a pole? Why was that image not flagged against every other asylum claimant to ensure that there were adequate security checks being done? According to your note, CSIS cleared this individual, returning a favourable recommendation. How did that slip through? How did that slip through, sir?
