Mr. Speaker, the member for Trinity—Spadina and I last year asked why Gary Freeman, who lived in this country peaceably for 40 years and had several children, was not being allowed back in the country. The answer was because of an event that happened in Chicago in the sixties for which he had served a short jail time. They said that because he was not a Canadian, he was not allowed back in.
We just learned that the British criminal Conrad Black will be allowed in, despite serving a second term in a federal American penitentiary. Why the double standard?
