Mr. Speaker, on many occasions the minister of immigration has stated in this House and outside that he has absolutely no tolerance for people who abuse the system.
Amendments to the Immigration Act were brought in last week that deal with questions of criminality. Sometimes the figures as quoted by my hon. friend could be considered a little slewed, sometimes not. The difficulty here is that there are privacy considerations.
The minister has assured this House and I assure this House for him that an investigation is under way and that it will take all the proper measures necessary to ensure the safety of Canadians.
