Cabinet ministers will testify before a House of Commons committee following a report that a human trafficker was issued a new passport after surrendering it under court-imposed release conditions.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller and Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc will appear before the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration by Dec. 18. During a meeting on Nov. 16, MPs on the committee unanimously voted in favour of a motion to invite them to testify.
