“Non-citizens who commit serious crimes are getting light sentences so they will not be deported. The Liberals are allowing this, and it is hurting public support for immigration. I want the minister to say if she will close this loophole and deport these criminals.”
“Mr. Speaker, non-citizens’ committing serious crimes in Canada and then getting sweetheart sentences in order to avoid deportation, which the Liberals are letting happen right now, is undermining Canadians’ desire for immigration. It is what is breaking the consensus on immigration in Canada, yet the Liberals stand up and say nothing is wrong. This is the immigration minister’s fault. I am going to give the minister one more time to answer, possibly the last time before a shuffle. Will her legacy in this role be closing this loophole, bringing these non-citizens to justice and deporting them?”
