Mr. Speaker, if you are fleeing from the law in any country in the world, go to Canada. The taxpayers will look after you.
Take for instance Melissa Harris from Florida. She is a suspect in a double slaying who has fled across the border to Winnipeg. At the taxpayers' cost she is applying for refugee status, from Florida no less.
This Liberal government is a disgrace led by a minister of immigration who will no doubt call this yet another isolated incident. Or if I back him in the corner again he will simply say that as the minister he has no jurisdiction over refugee boards.
Perhaps Canadians should take another look at the policies of this government which allow Americans to claim refugee status if they are criminals, like Charles Ng. What is more important to Canadians, their safety or Liberals looking for more votes?
