Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Justice.
Recently the government announced that the war crimes unit in the justice department would be cut from 24 to 11 employees. In January the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and the Minister of Justice announced a strategy to deport war criminals currently in Canada. The minister stated that Canada would not become a safe haven for such criminals.
Would the minister say how the government can maintain these policy goals when the war crimes unit will be so drastically reduced?
