Replying to Warren Steinley (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, Jaskirat Sidhu, a non-citizen, pleaded guilty to 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, yet, yesterday, he was granted a stay of deportation. The psychological and physical harm to the Humboldt Broncos victims and their families was not adequately considered in the stay decision. My question is for the Minister of Public Safety: Will the Liberals appeal this decision and allow the victims and their families to be interveners?”
