Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
Lisa Fithian, an American peace and labour activist, was arrested, strip-searched and jailed for two days by immigration authorities when she arrived in Ottawa last week to participate in peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience training for the G-20 meeting. Fithian had entered Canada on a number of occasions previously without any problem whatsoever.
I want to ask the minister, is this a taste of what is to come under the anti-terrorism legislation? Why was this woman arrested, strip-searched and jailed?
