Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the member why he thinks it is appropriate to engage the deportation process when there are still possibilities of processing spousal or permanent residence applications. Deportation is a very serious matter. Should there be a legitimate family connection, it makes it more complicated for a person to return to Canada because he or she has to get over the hurdle of the deportation that has taken place.
Why go to deportation when there are still possibilities of processing legitimate applications in Canada?
