00:00:00.000 What I want to say to every world leader who gets up in arms when all we're asking for is fairness and to have them stop killing our people is please listen to us. Canada could do a lot more. Canada has been taken over, Brett, by Mexican cartels. They bring up these pill presses and printers and the medicines that they fake. You can't tell the difference.
00:00:27.220 It's major companies. You need a spectographer to do. Mexican drug cartels have now fully infiltrated Canada. You heard that right. They're here. And no, they're not planning on leaving anytime soon. But don't expect to hear about this on the CBC or any other government paid news organization.
00:00:47.380 You see, back in late 2026, then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decided that it would be a good idea to remove the visa requirement for Mexican citizens. He didn't put it to a vote. He didn't consult the Canadian people.
00:01:03.440 He just did it, despite reports from our law enforcement agencies telling him that this would almost certainly create an opportunity for the cartel to find its way into Canada.
00:01:16.020 But of course, he didn't listen. And since then, the RCMP has reported that multiple drug cartels are now operating in this country.
00:01:24.940 Okay, here's a video from the Parliamentary Committee on Public Safety, where they talk about how the Mexican cartels have now infiltrated Canada and are operating in this country. Let's have a listen.
00:01:38.660 Thank you. Minister, you're saying this is a world problem, but why has this grown in Canada in recent years? Why do you think?
00:01:44.460 Look, the issues around transnational criminal organizations are something that we're deeply worried about. We've taken some concrete action, and Canada, like other countries, is facing an increase.
00:01:59.180 You don't have any specific. Minister, your government lifted visa requirements for Mexico in December of 2016. Are you familiar with that decision?
00:02:07.420 I was not in Cabinet at that time, but I am familiar with that decision, yes.
00:02:11.020 I love how he has to throw in there that he wasn't a part of Cabinet when the decision was made.
00:02:15.420 He's like, well, I wasn't a part of government when the decision was made. I was just a member of Parliament. That's all I was.
00:02:21.580 It's like, it's your party. It's your government. It was you people who decided, despite the fact that the CBSA and other law enforcement agencies told you guys that it would be a bad idea to remove the visa requirement for Mexicans, that you were going to do it anyways. 0.93
00:02:38.640 So you're going to wear this one, buddy.
00:02:40.440 Do you agree that this decision expanded the cartel presence in Canada?
00:02:45.220 I don't have a direct causal link to that, but you're aware that last year that restriction was closed.
00:02:52.660 I'm aware, but do you think that there was a connection between lifting the visa requirements and the expanded presence of the cartel and the strengthening of their smuggling networks in Canada?
00:03:02.040 I'm not at liberty to speculate on that, Mr. Laird.
00:03:05.240 Well, this guy then says, well, but we put the visa requirement back again in 2024.
00:03:10.820 The damage is done.
00:03:13.100 The damage is done.
00:03:14.540 The cartel has established a presence here.
00:03:17.860 They're now here.
00:03:19.100 Multiple cartel organizations are now here.
00:03:21.920 So the damage is already done.
00:03:24.840 They freaking remove the visa requirement for eight years from 2016 to 2024 without consulting Canadians, without putting it to a vote, going against the advice of our law enforcement agencies who told them literally a month before they made this decision.
00:03:41.940 And they decided to ignore it.
00:03:44.220 And these guys like, well, but we put the visa back on in 2024.
00:03:48.000 Okay.
00:03:48.940 The damage is done.
00:03:50.400 Well, Minister, I have a report from Canada Border Services Agency.
00:03:53.720 This is from November of 2016, one month before your government decided to lift the visa requirement.
00:03:59.100 I'm going to quote from it.
00:03:59.880 The visa lift will make Canada, travel to Canada easier in order to establish or strengthen existing cartel smuggling chains.
00:04:08.480 In the next three years, Mexican drug cartels are expected to expand their presence in Canada.
00:04:14.500 That is a CBSA report that was written in November of 2016, one month before your government lifted the visa requirements.
00:04:21.680 And you're saying you can't see any causal link to that?
00:04:24.140 Is CBSA wrong, Minister?
00:04:26.180 They knew.
00:04:26.540 First of all, I didn't read that report, Mr. Lloyd, and I'm not at liberty to speculate on the causal link.
00:04:34.800 Well, Minister, CBSA was correct.
00:04:36.780 They correctly predicted that your government's actions would expand the cartel's presence in Canada.
00:04:41.060 It's plain for everyone in this country to see.
00:04:43.060 Your government was warned, and you recklessly chose to move ahead by lifting these visa requirements.
00:04:47.500 Minister, do you accept responsibility for your government's failure in making Canada a base for organized crime?
00:04:52.440 No, it won't.
00:04:54.340 Mr. Chair, my responsibility—
00:04:55.780 My responsibility is the safety and security of Canadians, and that is a task that I take very seriously.
00:05:02.020 And each and every day, I work to enhance and to ensure that the safety and security of Canadians are enhanced.
00:05:10.340 This includes a number of measures that we've taken, including a number of bills, Bill C-2, Bill C-12, Bill C-9, Bill C-8.
00:05:18.380 I'm going to interrupt the minister.
00:05:19.460 So, basically, no, he takes no responsibility.
00:05:23.480 He's not interested in taking responsibility.
00:05:26.040 All we've heard from this guy, the public safety minister, the so-called public safety minister, all we've heard from him is excuses.
00:05:34.260 I wasn't in cabinet then, even though he was an MP, a liberal MP, member of parliament.
00:05:40.420 I didn't read the report.
00:05:43.280 That's probably part of the reason why we're in this mess, is because you didn't read the report that came out a month before you guys got us in this mess.
00:05:52.840 Law enforcement agencies told the Trudeau government a month before he made that decision to remove the visa for Mexican citizens that doing so would put us at risk of having the cartel move here into Canada.
00:06:07.380 And they did it anyway.
00:06:10.540 And now this guy's like, oh, well, I didn't read the report.
00:06:13.500 Well, I'm not at liberty to say.
00:06:15.620 Minister, if you can't see the causal length between lifting these visa requirements and the increase in cartel activity in Canada, why then did your government reimpose the visa requirements?
00:06:26.020 Yep.
00:06:26.640 Good question.
00:06:27.280 There were a number of considerations, as you're aware, Mr. Lloyd, post-COVID.
00:06:32.300 There were some changes that we made.
00:06:35.240 We had a number of…
00:06:37.500 Were you advised that the lifting of these visas had caused an increase in crime and the implementation of these visas were necessary to staunch the stem of organized crime growth in Canada?
00:06:48.800 Mr. Lloyd, I wasn't the minister at that point, and I did not have that particular information.
00:06:54.780 Well, you're talking about borders today.
00:06:56.760 This is a border.
00:06:58.160 It's a critical issue in Canada.
00:06:59.600 We just had a W5 report.
00:07:01.500 You've listed seven South American and Central American cartels as terrorist organizations, and you don't know and you can't say whether your government's policies are intended to stop those terrorist organizations from operating in Canada.
00:07:13.220 You can't say whether or not lifting the visa requirements did cause it, minister.
00:07:16.540 This is the report from W5 that was being referenced in the conversation with the public safety minister.
00:07:22.800 Canada's cartel footprint.
00:07:24.320 RCMP names seven syndicates active in Canada, published on October 16, 2025, so just about a month ago.
00:07:32.800 High-ranking RCMP officer is painting a disturbing picture of the cartel footprint in Canada.
00:07:39.840 In a rare interview, RCMP chief superintendent and director general of the National Serious and Organized Crime Program, Matthew Bertrand, revealed to W5's Avery Haynes that at least seven cartels are active in Canada.
00:07:57.180 That's what's happening in Canada today.
00:08:00.100 Quote,
00:08:00.380 End quote.
00:08:22.280 End quote.
00:08:30.380 The drug trafficking activities are a risk to our national security and must be stopped using all tools available.
00:08:38.500 So this is what's going on in Canada, and all you have from the people responsible for causing this mess is excuses, word salad, and deflect, deflect, deflect.
00:08:50.220 The cartel are now present in Canada, and they're operating here.
00:08:55.880 Something that was not a reality just a short 10 years ago.
00:08:59.760 But now it is.
