Mr. Speaker, the immigration minister has let the country down. She has repeatedly stood in her place promising the House and Canadians that she would detain people of concern at our borders.
Immigration officers say that they had to release about 500 undocumented refugee claimants of the 1,000 who showed up in November at Pearson airport.
On the very day we are signing a border agreement and the Americans are fortifying their sovereignty, why is the minister failing to protect Canada?
