Mr. Speaker, apparently the minister was not around on Tuesday. Extortion is real, and newcomers to Canada are the ones who suffer.
Here is an example of an extortion letter from Abbotsford:
WARNING...we are Indian gang members, we want our share from your business like protection money....
We are asking only 2 million...in cash...we have links all over do not ignore us, it will efect you realy bad.... we gave you 1 month to decide....
Threats like this one are followed by arson, shootings and murder. If caught, they claim refugee status. Will the government support our motion to stop people who are charged with serious crimes from claiming refugee status in order to avoid justice?
