International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan told his fellow MPs Wednesday he did not know a Canadian senator was handing out unauthorized travel documents to hundreds of Afghans during the rise of the Taliban in 2021 because he wasn’t checking his email at the time.
Sen. Marilou McPhedran told the House immigration committee last week that Sajjan’s then-chief of staff, George Young, had given her a template for a “visa facilitation letter” that people could use to clear checkpoints on their way to the airport to escape the country.
