foreign nationals: We are addressing challenges that prevent us from effectively removing foreign criminals who have broken our laws and abused the generosity of Canadians, Blaney said at a news conference in Toronto, according to Toronto Star. Under the proposed legislation, the bill would allow the mandatory transfer of foreign criminals back to their original countries without their consent — the only consent needed being from the home country, Blaney said. Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Steven Blaney said Tuesday that the Removal of Serious Foreign Criminals Act will be introduced next month. He said the pardon process will also be changed. He said there have been cases where foreign nationals who have committed serious crimes have received pardons and allowed to remain the country. We will ensure that all foreign nationals and certain permanent residents who have been convicted of serious crimes will no longer be able to avoid removal by seeking record suspensions — previously referred to as pardons, Blaney said.
