Conservatives demand the immigration minister face parliamentary questioning over departmental performance

Conservative Shadow Minister Michelle Rempel Garner has called on Prime Minister Mark Carney to ensure Immigration Minister Lena Diab attends an upcoming parliamentary review. The official opposition selected the immigration minister for the upcoming Committee of the Whole session scheduled for Thursday night. This standard legislative procedure allows members of parliament to directly question ministers for four hours regarding departmental spending and policies. The opposition states that Diab has not yet confirmed her full attendance for the review. Conservative critics argue that the minister must be held accountable for several recent issues, including border enforcement backlogs, visa contractor security risks, and internal department misconduct.
