Faber Accepts That Things Have To Change At Immigration
posted (March 1, 2017)

Faber also weighed in on the ongoing senate inquiry into Immigration irregularities. As you saw in our first segment, the senate probe continues to be very revealing – each session unearthing layers upon layers of irregularities and shady dealings by public officers and UDP operators.  It’s a major black eye for the UDP and Faber admits there is a serious systemic problem:

Hon. Patrick Faber - Minister of Education
"I think what is clear is that there is a lot that has gone wrong in the immigration department as is the case in other areas of the government that are notorious for corruption. I think what is clear is that while everybody seems to want to place blame on the politicians that in fact there is much more going wrong and what is really needed rather than the pointing of fingers is for us to revamp the system and get a kind of system going that is transparent and that is open where these kind of abuses won't take place."

The hearings continue  next Wednesday.
