On the contrary, Mr. Speaker, the minister makes every foreign student a potential victim by not shutting down these bogus schools. Bogus schools use helpless students as captive labour. They are fronts for laundering money. They are an open gateway for security threats.
Today we learned that the minister was warned over a year ago of the “unbridled growth” of these operations, of the abuse and of the security risk.
What possible reason could the Liberals give for failing to shut down these bogus visa schools?
