Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary said that the border was secure. Perhaps he would like to comment on this headline from The Globe and Mail that reads, “Jordanian terror suspect deported from the U.S. had crossed the Canada-U.S. border illegally twice”. This person crossed illegally into Canada in 2017, made a refugee claim and was rejected for that refugee claim at the same refugee border that now has a 260,000-application backlog. He was not deported from this country. He crossed illegally into the United States, was apprehended by the American authorities and was then deported to his country of origin because he was a known terror suspect.
Perhaps the parliamentary secretary would like to amend his statement that the border is in fact secure when we have massive border disorder.
