- description: MP John Williamson (New Brunswick Southwest): Mr. Speaker, hold that change in government. The NDP and Liberals have chosen to ignore the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, the Canadian Police Association, victims organizations, immigration lawyers and experts and have voted against the faster removal of foreign criminals act. They are voting to allow foreign nationals who break the law to remain in Canada. With the final vote on this bill taking place tonight, can the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism please update this House on our government's commitment to protect the safety and security of Canadians? Hon. Jason Kenney (Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism): Mr. Speaker, for too long too many serious, dangerous, convicted foreign criminals have been able to delay their deportation from Canada for years, and in too many cases gone on to commit new crimes and create new victims in Canada. Canadians have had enough of this. When people come to Canada and violate the privilege of residency here by being convicted in a court of law of having committed a serious crime they lose the privilege to stay in Canada and should be deported quickly. This new law will do just that. We hope that the NDP and the Liberal parties will listen to victims rights groups and support the faster removal of foreign criminals act.
