Janet Napolitano

Jason Kenney says the Obama administration rebuffed his plea in 2010 to renegotiate the safe third-country agreement

Two important exits

Mark Holland, April 23. Mr. Speaker, while the minister is in denial, the homeland secretary is making quotes like this, “To the extent that terrorists have come into our country…it’s been across the Canadian border.” Does the public safety minister think this statement is acceptable, that we should just leave it out there, that terrorists come from Canada? Does he realize that such myths cost Canadian jobs and that in a tough economy we cannot afford to have him sitting on the sidelines with his fingers in his ears? He should stand up, speak for Canada, protect Canadian jobs, and confront this appalling lack of knowledge.

It occurs to me that U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano might have understated the extent of the problem when she said, “The fact of the matter is that Canada allows people into its country that we do not allow into ours… That’s why you have to have a border, and you have to have border policies that make sense.”

Border security is still a very sore point in Canada-U.S. relations
