Mr. Speaker, let me first of all reject the notion of the 700 number the party opposite has been using. There are efforts in place, as we speak, by the Canada Border Services Agency to remove those who are inadmissible to Canada. It has reviewed over 18,000 applications for inadmissibility. It has opened over 170 investigations, and approximately 240 visas have been cancelled. We have removed individuals who are members of the IRGC. We will continue to go through the process to remove them. Let us be very clear. Those who are ineligible and inadmissible will be removed.
