Mr. Speaker, when the leader of the NDP was not running stop signs and putting pedestrians at risk, he instructed his MPs to filibuster a private member's bill at the immigration committee for a third day now, potentially placing CF members at risk.
What could be so important that the NDP has decided to spend almost three days filibustering? The answer is that they are fighting so that convicted terrorists can keep their Canadian citizenship.
People heard me correctly. The NDP is fighting tooth and nail against stripping convicted terrorists of Canadian citizenship. The NDP is ignoring over 80% of Canadians who support the member for Calgary Northeast's bill, and instead is choosing to dilute the value of Canadian citizenship. The NDP has reached a new low and is showing yet again how out of touch its members are about what matters to Canadians.
I call on the leader of the NDP to stop these games, and at stop signs, and to let the immigration committee move forward with this bill so that we can strip Canadian citizenship from convicted terrorists. We know who he is.
