Mr. Speaker, this weekend the immigration minister revealed that fully 40% of refugee claimants are from the United States.
Signing a safe third country agreement with the United States would allow immigration officials to focus on the other 60% who are not from the United States. When asked if an agreement of this nature was a top priority, the minister said on the weekend that she did not think so.
Why will the minister not take this important step and make the security of Canadians a top priority?
