Subhead:According to MP Rempel Garner, the proposed bill will amend Criminal Code section 718.#
Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner announced a bill to simplify the deportation of foreign criminals, stating, “Becoming a Canadian is a privilege, not a right.” It will be tabled when Parliament returns next month.
Rempel Garner stated that non-citizens seeking Canadian residency or citizenship have responsibilities along with rights. She noted that Canada has a “two-tier justice” system, where non-citizens can receive lighter sentences, calling it unfair.
