Immigration: Citizenship Canada and Commons Tuesday

immigration: Immigration Minister John McCallum speaks in the House of Commons on Nov. 15, according to Huffington Post Canada. Photo Adrian Wyld/CP Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel said the testimony revealed the government was advised about possible hazards with its rush to lift the restriction for Mexicans on Dec. 1. John McCallum faced questions in the House of Commons Tuesday over testimony a senior official from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada delivered at a parliamentary committee earlier in the day. The previous Tory government imposed the controversial visas in 2009 to stop thousands of false asylum claims. Why were the Liberals hiding them from Canadians and why did the Liberals blatantly ignore them McCallum shot back by saying that unlike the last government, Liberals are pleased to welcome Mexicans to Canada and foster stronger relations with the country. Canadians deserve to know this is really important what were these risks Rempel asked. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
