Michelle Rempel Garner Conservative
“The government voted against a bill to deport non-citizens who commit serious crimes. I want the minister to explain why a non-citizen who caused a fatal car crash is still allowed in Canada.”
“Mr. Chair, it is inconceivable that they voted against a bill to close this loophole and amend the Criminal Code to deport non-citizens convicted of serious crime and uphold the law. Here is another example. A non-citizen caused a deadly crash on Highway 401, then received a lenient sentence in order to avoid deportation. Can the minister tell the victim’s family why this person is still in Canada?”
