Mr. Speaker, this spring, four officials from the ministry of the interior of the Democratic Republic of Congo travelled to Canada at taxpayers’ expense to interview approximately thirty Congolese nationals threatened with deportation by the government. Ironically, one of these nationals was himself an official from Kinshasa and as such, is suspected of being involved in human rights abuses.
The Congolese Canadian community is concerned about this state of affairs and is asking to meet with the minister responsible.
My question is simple: Will the community get that meeting?
