Mexican cartels are among the organized-crime groups being investigated for smuggling people to Canada, a committee of MPs looking into the issue heard Wednesday.

The RCMP told the House of Commons immigration committee that people trying to make it to Canada were vulnerable and that “organized criminals of all stripes – Mexican cartels included – will exploit that.”

“And we can say in Canada from our investigations across the country that there is Mexican organized crime involved in this,” said Richard Burchill, the RCMP’s Acting Assistant Commissioner of Federal Policing Criminal Operations.
