Mr. Speaker, that is precisely the same arm's length excuse that we have heard from this minister all along but it does not wash.
This minister has the power under the Immigration Act to prevent before they begin refugee claims by people from countries like the United States, but he has chosen not to do so.
Will this minister admit that his unwillingness to stop refugee claims from the United States and Israel makes a mockery out of the IRB, his office and the country as a whole?
