Immigration Minister Sean Fraser, who held the portfolio during a period highlighted in Auditor General Karen Hogan’s findings of fraudulent activity within Canada’s international student program, has acknowledged that in retrospect he would have moved more quickly to implement sweeping reforms to the system. The former minister’s comments come as the Conservative opposition continues to mount pressure on both Fraser and the individuals who succeeded him in the role, demanding that the current immigration minister and his predecessors step down from their positions.
