Conservative Government and Controversial Decision

Mexican government: The previous Conservative government imposed visas in 2009 to stop thousands of asylum claims being made by Mexican citizens later ruled to be unfounded, according to Huffington Post Canada. It was a controversial decision that sparked outcry from industry and the Mexican government. But multiple sources tell The Canadian Press negotiations are still underway on whether the plan will contain a fixed date to remove the visas as Canadian officials push to link it to the implementation of new border controls still in their infancy. "We shall see,'' Immigration Minister John McCallum said when asked whether a deal will be reached by June 29. The Liberals promised during the election campaign the visa would be lifted. Pressure to do so intensified as part of Trudeau decision to convene the Three Amigos summit — the meeting between the leaders of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico that the Tories postponed last year. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau laughs as he speaks with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto during a session on carbon pricing at the United Nations climate change summit on Nov. 30, 2015 in Le Bourget, France.
