Mr. Speaker, a student in my riding has missed out on a great opportunity to work for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for the summer, because of the RCMP's inability to process fingerprinting requests expeditiously.
Can the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness tell us why an agronomy student needs to provide fingerprints and undergo a detailed security clearance in order to take a summer job as an assistant in a soil and field crop research centre?
