Conservative Shadow Minister for Immigration Michelle Rempel Garner released a sharp statement criticizing Immigration Minister Lena Diab. Rempel Garner accused the Liberal minister of ignoring the rule of law by allowing non-citizens convicted of serious crimes to avoid deportation. The statement highlighted several Canadian court cases where judges handed out lenient sentences specifically to prevent the offender's deportation. These cases involved violent assault, domestic battery, fatal traffic accidents, and drug trafficking. Rempel Garner stated that this practice creates an unfair two-tier justice system that leaves Canadian victims unprotected. The opposition critic demanded immediate accountability and urged the Prime Minister to replace the minister.
