A former Liberal immigration minister has advocated for Canada to terminate an agreement that permits the return of asylum seekers who enter the country from the United States.
The minister argues that the current agreement undermines Canada's commitment to providing refuge to those in need and calls for a reevaluation of the policy to ensure fair treatment of asylum seekers.
This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about immigration policies and the responsibilities of countries to protect vulnerable individuals seeking asylum.
The minister's comments reflect growing concerns regarding the implications of the agreement on human rights and the integrity of Canada's immigration system.
