As I have already said, all foreign criminals who are declared inadmissible to Canada on serious grounds have the right to a pre-removal risk assessment. This process is separate from the process used to decide criminal matters. So if a criminal court in Canada imposes a sentence of more than six months, the Canada Border Services Agency issues a removal order against those individuals. But they have the right to a pre-removal risk assessment. That is an analysis is conducted to determine whether they are liable to face torture or whether their lives may be in danger if they are returned to their countries of origin.
If the pre-removal risk assessment is rejected by an independent and well-trained officer of our department, affected individuals may apply to the Federal Court for a review of the pre-removal risk assessment. That is how things will work, even after these amendments.
