Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his questions. They are very interesting.
I am not a judge nor a jury but I can comment. Maybe the person who committed those crimes should have thought very carefully about the consequences for his wife and children before he considered the crimes. I think it is reasonable to ask that we be responsible for those types of things.
If he is after reunification with his family maybe that is an item for his country of origin to deal with and not a particular problem for Canada in this case.
With regard to family reunification which the hon. member briefly touched on, I would say that the Reform Party does very much stand for the principles of the family.
We do not have a problem entirely with family reunification, but I think it has gone a little bit too far. We are talking about family reunification for adopted children and children of adopted children. It goes on and on with cousins. Where does it end?
Family reunification in the close knit family is fine, but the laws in this country take it a little bit too far in my opinion.
