Mr. Speaker, a senior Liberal debating my bill to stop leniency for non-citizens convicted of serious crimes said this: “If someone is going out there and raping another individual, do we really believe that they are going to get special treatment from a judge...?” Well, the very next day, there was a report of a non-citizen in Barrie being convicted of raping a 13-year-old little girl and impregnating her twice, and the rapist had been given an adjournment to see what impact his guilty plea would have on his immigration status.
Will the Liberals admit that they were wrong?
