Mr. Speaker, I outlined in my speech why my bill upholds the principle of judicial independence. It also outlines how the Pham decision intended for the courts not to do exactly what they are doing right now, which is to subvert the will of Parliament. It has already been exerted in IRPA, which clearly states that a non-citizen convicted of a serious crime should be deported.
My colleague is introducing a principle for crimes like fraud and drug trafficking, or other offences. If somebody reaches the threshold of serious criminality in IRPA, they should be deported.
He laughed at this. For everybody watching at home, the Liberals laughed at the principle that underpins Canadian citizenship. To him, if someone commits a serious crime, they should stay here if they are a non-citizen. It is garbage.
