Mr. Speaker, Konrads Kalejs is alleged to have participated in the deaths of 27,800 Jews. He was deported by the United States in 1988 and since 1994 has entered Canada twice and has been here most of the time. Finally last September his deportation trial was set for February but has now been put off until May.
Willowdale residents led by Rhonda Greenberg, the Canadian Jewish Congress led by Bernie Farber and many others have condemned our handling of this matter.
I ask the minister of immigration: Why the unconscionable delay in dealing with the continuing presence in Canada of this alleged Nazi war criminal? Surely we could do better.
