Liberal on Business of Supply 2026-05-28

38 words · 5 sentences · 5 clauses

Replying to Michelle Rempel Garner (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, we have to realize that the Liberals are sitting here, mocking this. That is why Canadians have lost faith in immigration. It is because of things like this. All we have to do is pass a one-line change to the Criminal Code. A non-citizen trucker in Ontario killed another truck driver and severely injured a passenger. There were real victims to this crime, and that person should have been deported. Why were they not?”
