Mr. Speaker, let me just say that the new government is ensuring that we have control over the immigration system. C-12 Today we passed Bill, which gives greater law enforcement powers to both the CBSA and the IRCC. For example, when people are using the asylum system to game the system, it will enable officials to disallow their claims. C-12 We are taking control of the immigration system, and [more]

Mr. Speaker, let me thank the member for Markham—Unionville for his hard work and advocacy. C-22 As members are aware, law enforcement agencies across Canada have been asking for additional tools, the most important one being lawful access in order to ensure the safety and security of Canadians. Through Bill, they would have the tools they need to combat childhood sexual exploitation, extortion, [more]

Mr. Speaker, let me first extend my condolences to the families who were impacted by this heinous act and let me also assure my colleagues that this was a decision of the independent Parole Board. With the bills that are before the House today, we would strengthen bail, we would strengthen sentencing, we would strengthen the rights of victims and we would work with all parties to ensure the [more]

Mr. Speaker, once again, let me express my condolences to those who were impacted by this heinous act, but let me also assure Canadians that we are working to strengthen bail laws, strengthen sentencing and strengthen victims' rights, as well as to ensure that those who are impacted by violence are supported through the number of bills that we have.

C-12 C-14 C-16 Mr. Speaker, let us talk about the facts. There are 1,000 new CBSA officers, 1,000 new RCMP personnel, $1.3 billion for border security and Bill, the strong borders act. We have Bill, which would strengthen bail as well as sentencing. We have Bill, which would strengthen victims' rights. That is the record of this government. We are going to be making sure that every Canadian [more]

Mr. Speaker, let me just say that the first 1,000 RCMP officers we are going to be hiring will be coming out very shortly. We have also started to roll out the 1,000 new CBSA officers. C-22 What will be important for members opposite to reflect on is their commitment to the RCMP. On this side of the House, we support the RCMP. We support law enforcement. We have introduced Billrespecting lawful [more]

Mr. Speaker, let me be very clear. As part of the platform last year, we committed to hiring 1,000 new CBSA officers as well as 1,000 new RCMP personnel, and we have already started on that process. We had the first cohort of CBSA officers who graduated from Rigaud. The member opposite was in fact invited to the graduation. We will be rolling out the first cohort of RCMP personnel over the next [more]

C-14 C-16 Mr. Speaker, Canada's new government is taking very important measures to ensure the safety and security of Canadians. We have Bill, which would address the issues around bail and sentencing, the issues the member opposite is talking about. We also have Bill, which is about supporting victims and ensuring the administration of justice. C-22 Just today, I had the opportunity to [more]

Mr. Speaker, to be clear, on the number the member opposite is referencing, they were never allowed into Canada. Those visas were revoked as they were outside of Canada. Let me just say for the record that individuals who are believed to be members of the IRGC are being thoroughly investigated by the Canada Border Services Agency. They are going through the legal process of being removed. Some [more]

Mr. Speaker, the IRGC was listed as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code in Canada in 2024. The state of Iran has been listed as a state sponsor of terrorism. We have been working to ensure that those who are inadmissible are removed forthwith. Any information that is received by law enforcement, by CBSA, of alleged members of the IRGC who are in Canada, is investigated thoroughly. The [more]

C-22, An Act respecting lawful access moved for leave to introduce Bill.
