Michelle Rempel Garner Conservative
“Judges are giving light sentences so non-citizens who commit crimes can avoid deportation. People who come to our country must follow our laws. I want the minister to ask the justice minister to close this loophole.”
“Mr. Chair, that is just not the case. Every day there is a new headline. For example, this one: “Judge gives lenient sentence so trucker can dodge deportation after fatal Ontario crash”. That is not a consequence. They get to stay in our country. Guests in our country have to abide by the rule of law. The rule of law is part of our national identity. Can she just say that she will go to the justice minister and say that they are getting roasted on this, and rightly so, and that they need to close this loophole?”
