Mr. Speaker, the assertion of the member of the opposition party is absolutely false. When somebody is before the courts facing criminal charges and conviction, they are deemed to be inadmissible to Canada. The Canada Border Services Agency takes this very seriously and has inadmissible individuals removed. Last year, we removed over 22,000 individuals from Canada.
However, let me be very clear. The issue of lawful access is a tool that law enforcement has been asking for. The party opposite has absolutely failed in supporting those policies so that we can have a safer country.
