Mr. Speaker, when it comes to compassion and how we treat Canadians from various ethnocultural backgrounds, we need no lectures, no lessons from that side of the House.
No one suggested we would take her out of the hospital and deport her. There were rumours suggesting that we were going to deport part of the family and leave the other part in Canada.
Members of Parliament from our side made representations to the ministry and officials with respect to a compassionate deportation. We have shown that compassion. We have not forced anyone from a hospital bed. To make such allegations is simply a reflection of the manipulation for which his party is well known.
