Mr. Chair, it is inconceivable that they voted against a bill to close this loophole and amend the Criminal Code to deport non-citizens convicted of serious crime and uphold the law.

Here is another example. A non-citizen caused a deadly crash on Highway 401, then received a lenient sentence in order to avoid deportation. Can the minister tell the victim's family why this person is still in Canada?

Mr. Chair, where does it say in the Constitution that non-citizens should get more lenient sentences than Canadians, in order to avoid deportation?

However, Mr. Chair, they are not being treated seriously. They are not being deported.

Here is another example. A non-citizen who committed a string of crimes in Calgary pleaded to a lesser crime of assault in order to avoid deportation. Can the minister tell the victim why this person is still in Canada?

Exactly, Mr. Chair, we need a new law, but the minister voted against the law that would have prevented this. People who are sitting at home and who are listening to example after example of the lived experiences of non-citizens getting sweetheart deals and being able to stay in this country after serious crimes are listening to her drivel and wondering how Canada got this way.

A non-citizen sexually assaulted an 18-year-old girl in a nightclub in Calgary and then was given a lenient sentence to avoid deportation. Can the minister try again? What is she going to tell the victim of this criminal? Why is he still in Canada?

[Business of Supply, May 28th, 2026]

Mr. Chair, as a lawyer, she should know that what the court ruling actually said was that there was nothing in the charter that gave people these rights, and my bill was constitutional, so shame on her. She voted against it.

A non-citizen spied on his roommates while they used the bathroom. The minister is sitting here arguing that it is okay for this person to be in Canada, yet he was given a lenient sentence so that he would avoid deportation. Can the minister tell the victims of this disgusting rapist why he is still in Canada?

[Business of Supply, May 28th, 2026]

Mr. Chair, there is nothing to prevent it, either, and that is why the Conservatives brought in a bill to close this loophole. The minister could have told the justice minister to support it, but in fact she voted against it. This is her fault.

A non-citizen was convicted of major theft, a crime that carries a punishment of 10 years. Instead of being deported, she received house arrest to avoid deportation. Why should she be allowed to stay in Canada?

[Business of Supply, May 28th, 2026]

Mr. Chair, this non-citizen did not face serious consequences. He was caught trafficking cocaine and was given a lenient sentence to avoid deportation. Can the minister tell Canadians, in spite of all her claims, why he is still in Canada?

[Business of Supply, May 28th, 2026]

Mr. Chair, the minister claims that, yet it is still happening over and over again. A non-citizen was found guilty of assault then broke his no-contact order, yet he was still given a lenient sentence to avoid deportation. Can the minister tell his victim why he is still in Canada?

[Business of Supply, May 28th, 2026]

Mr. Chair, they do not. A non-citizen trucker received a lenient sentence specifically so they could dodge deportation after they caused a fatal crash in Ontario. Can the minister tell the family of the victim why this person is still in Canada?

[Business of Supply, May 28th, 2026]

Mr. Chair, a non-citizen in Kitchener battered his girlfriend, then a judge gave him a lenient sentence so he would not be deported. Can the minister tell the victim why this person is still in Canada?
