The Mexican government is taking a Conservative MP to task for implying that many Mexican visitors to Canada are involved in the illegal drug trade.

Internal documents obtained by Global News show Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the decision to lift visa requirements despite intelligence reporting that anticipated the likely result would be an increased criminal presence among visitors.

A plan for how Canada will meet a promise to lift visa requirements for Mexicans will be announced later this month when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hosts Mexico's president as part of the Three Amigos summit.
