“The law says non-citizens who commit serious crimes must be deported, but the minister has not closed a loophole that lets them stay. A temporary foreign worker assaulted and robbed a woman, but got a lighter sentence just to avoid deportation. I want the minister to explain to the victim why this person is still in Canada.”
“Mr. Chair, the law requires that non-citizens convicted of a serious crime be deported, yet the minister refuses to close a loophole that keeps them here. A temporary foreign worker assaulted a woman then robbed her, yet he was given a lenient sentence to avoid deportation. Can the minister tell the victim why this person is still in Canada?”
