LIBERALS PUTTING CANADIANS SECOND
Bill C-6 protecting the rights of foreign citizens first

Richmond, BC – Alice Wong, Member of Parliament for Richmond Centre, gave the following remarks after the introduction of the Liberal Government’s Bill C-6, an amendment to the Citizenship Act:

“Bill C-6 puts the interests of Canadians behind those of foreigners that have chosen to make no positive contributions to Canadian society.

Bill C-6 will allow Zakaria Amara to obtain Canadian citizenship again. Amara, part of the so-called “Toronto 18” is a Jordanian citizen that was convicted for life imprisonment in 2006 for terrorism and intentions to kill Canadians with explosives, just seven years after he immigrated to Canada. So extreme were his crimes that the judge ordered his citizenship revoked.

Do the Liberals really think Canadians believe that people such as Zakaria Amara should be given Canadian citizenship?

When will the government start to put the priorities of Canadians first?”
