Mr. Speaker, the bleeding heart mentality of the Liberal government has penetrated the Immigration and Refugee Board, appeal division. Its decision to allow Satpal Singh Jhatoo, a convicted murderer, to stay in Canada is reprehensible. The board says the killer is remorseful. It says the killer is unlikely to reoffend, so it let him stay.
It does not matter that he beat a mother of six to death with a baseball bat, doused her body in gasoline and set it on fire. It does not matter that before being sentenced to life for this horrible crime, he was convicted of aggravated assault when he stabbed a man in the neck.
It does not matter that he violated parole. It does not matter that he was caught smoking pot while on parole. It does not matter that he received day parole after only seven years in prison.
It does not matter that the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has the means and the power to declare this criminal a danger to the public and have him deported. It does not matter to the bleeding heart Liberals, but it does matter to Canadians.
