Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that the information comes from immigration officers within her department. They are the ones who have received this information from the minister.
The Reform Party believes that an escaped dangerous offender who savagely beat a defenceless woman during a robbery should not even be allowed to claim refugee status in Canada, never mind being released from detention. The Liberals think that not only should he be released but he should be welcomed with opened arms.
Can the minister explain why this government is now adopting a get soft approach concerning illegal immigrants and bogus refugees rather than protecting Canadians?
