Conservatives call for the firing of the immigration minister over security failure

Conservative Shadow Minister Michelle Rempel Garner is demanding the dismissal of Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab after a Temporary Resident Permit was issued to a high-profile member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Rempel Garner characterized the entry of the senior member of the listed terrorist organization as an alarming security failure that was only uncovered through independent investigative journalism. While the government cited privacy legislation and characterized the permit as "unintentional," Conservatives are questioning whether other egregious permits have been issued ahead of the FIFA World Cup. The opposition maintains that the Minister’s accountability for the visa and her subsequent vague testimony demonstrate an inability to manage Canada’s immigration system effectively.
