“Non-citizens who commit serious crimes cannot enter or stay in Canada. Our government introduced crime laws, but the opposition blocked them. We are also spending money to hire more border officers and police to protect Canadians.”
“Mr. Chair, non-citizens convicted of a serious crime are inadmissible, whether the crime happened in Canada or outside Canada. That means they are not allowed to enter Canada or stay in Canada if they are already here. We brought in many pieces of criminal legislation in this House, under this government, under our mandate so far, that the opposition has obstructed in each and every way. We have also invested in CBSA officers and RCMP officers. We are hiring many to protect Canadians.”
