Mr. Speaker, the member is mistaken because the minister has refused no visitor visa to anyone. The visitor visa is done on a processed basis. It should be done fairly and not with any favouritism to anyone regardless of background.
There are a million applications for visitor visas. Surely the member does not expect a minister or a government to be interventionist with visitor visa applications easily and loosely. Eighty-five per cent of all applications are approved.
There is a process in place that if a visitor visa is refused, the remedy is to reapply and try to address some of the concerns. The member should know one of the three actors has gone to the embassy today to make such a formal reapplication. The other two actors have not seen fit to go back.
We should allow the individuals to do as they please, rather than to force the issue and play politics on the backs of a visitor visa program.
