The Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, today urged Members of Parliament to support the legislation to expedite the removal of foreign criminals from Canada […] Another change in the proposed legislation would ensure that foreign nationals who are inadmissible on the most serious grounds – security, human or international rights violations, or organized criminality – will no longer be able to delay their removal by applying for a program that is meant for cases deserving of humanitarian and compassionate consideration. This change is consistent with the government’s no safe haven policy.
