Defence Minister Bill Blair says the federal government is “absolutely committed” to removing individuals who are connected to the Iranian regime or sponsor terrorism around the world. His comments came amid reports that a second alleged senior Iranian official will be deported from Canada.
“When individuals have been involved in activity that would make them ineligible to be in this country, we‘ll do everything we can to keep them out,” Mr. Blair told reporters on Dec. 13. “And when they do get into this country, we’ll do everything we can to remove them.”
