Madam Speaker, it is an honour to present this petition. I know that, because of the petition rules, I cannot speak to how much this petition means to me, so I will stay neutral.
Many petitioners from my community are calling for the Minister of Immigration to revisit decisions that deny a Canadian couple the ability to live together. The wife, Sophia Papp, is Canadian. Her spouse, Zain Haq, has been deported to Pakistan.
The petitioners call on the government to revisit this matter, reverse the deportation and reunite this couple so they can live together with their family in Vancouver.
