“The minister let a legal loophole stay open, and now abusers are allowed to stay in Canada. I want to know why she will not push to deport them.”
“Mr. Chair, does the minister realize how inane and uncompassionate she sounds? She says, “Oh, there is nothing in the law that says this.” It says it in the law. My bill would have closed this loophole, and she could have gone to the justice minister and told him to close this loophole. She sat back and said that it was fine. No, the result is what my colleague just said: people being strangled and their abusers staying in Canada. Why will she not advocate to deport them?”
