Mr. Speaker, this woman filed a claim for refugee status to escape a husband who mutilated, burned and beat her.
The stay granted by the court will allow her to give birth to her child in Quebec. If the woman were then deported to a country where maternity and health care are virtually non-existent, it would be a death sentence for her and her baby.
Will the government re-examine and postpone the deportation until this woman obtains a response to her application for permanent residence on humanitarian grounds?
