The guy that was the Immigration Minister who decided to actively open the floodgates to low skill and low wage "students" without controls to try to score 100 million Canadians? Who was warned about the housing and economic problems that their Century Initiative would create for Canadians and still went ahead? It was so bad that Trudeau had to say it needed to brought back under control.

Then this same guy then had to leave that file and was sent to be the Minister of Housing to deal with the housing crisis that he ####ed up himself?

No wonder he stepped down on his own. Only question is why it took so long. Hopefully people do remember his policy record in Cabinet!
