Mr. Speaker, Canada's High Commission in Sri Lanka has revealed that a shocking one-third of all Sri Lankans travelling to Canada who were stopped for identity checks at the airport had made refugee claims or were refugees in Canada. They are seeking or have
received refugee status by claiming persecution in Sri Lanka but still went back there for vacations.
The minister has been told time and time again the system is being abused. Will the minister also ignore this blatant abuse or will he clamp down on bogus refugees who make a mockery of the Canadian refugee policy?
