Mr. Speaker, I would be willing to consider an amendment.
The member says that there should be a process to allow foreign criminals to appeal to remain in Canada. I do not agree. Once someone has been convicted of a serious crime, they should be removed from Canada. They should not be entitled to years and years of expensive legal appeals that are paid for by our taxpayers and that allow foreign criminals to have a better quality of life and a higher income than Canadian seniors who have contributed to our country for many years.
We want to bring back the principle that Canadians matter. We will protect our own people, not foreign criminals.
