Immigration Minister Marc Miller is remaining tight-lipped on potential new immigration measures to combat “historic flows” of asylum seekers to Canada.

Speaking at a Feb. 7 House Citizenship and Immigration committee meeting, Mr. Miller responded to a question from Conservative MP Tom Kmiec on why the government has not reimposed visa requirements on Mexican nationals. The Trudeau government lifted the requirement for Mexican travellers in 2016 as part of a broader trade agreement.
