In this case, my own opinion is no. They have a long list of history. As I mentioned, in the cases that have been presented, you have cases of assault, sexual assault, fraud, drug trafficking, weapons charges. We should really ask ourselves whether these are the people we want in Canada. Again, I'm going to go to my own case. When I live in another country, I am a guest in that home. When someone comes to our country, they're a guest in our home. I think it is a reasonable expectation that they respect our values, our laws.
As a guest, if they're breaking these laws especially on such charges as assault, and repeated assault and multiple assault, the resources that we're using for their appeal and for keeping them in a detention centre or in the federal prison system are resources that we are diverting away, that we could be actually using for immigrants and refugees who actually need that. It's anything from education so they can integrate into the country, to helping them find a job.
I see an issue like that and I don't know what the costs of the entire appeal would be, but that takes resources away from people who have legitimate use for them.
