I have the floor. Thank you, Minister.
For the benefit of the Canadians who are listening, a temporary resident visa is required for any Iranian citizen to enter Canada. Many do on a daily basis. A temporary resident permit is required for anyone who is found inadmissible to come to Canada for criminal reasons or other reasons.
According to the Raoul Wallenberg Centre, this individual was an IRGC intelligence commander from 1979 onwards. I find it interesting that Liberal members said he was an alleged IRGC member. It's been well reported that he was an intelligence commander in the IRGC. He would have had to be issued a temporary resident permit. That is a special permit from your department.
Minister, did your department know that this person was inadmissible to Canada before you issued a permit?
