On April 19, 2013, Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carleton stood up in the House of Commons to present a petition from his constituents.

“Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to share with the House a petition from constituents who call for the prompt passage of the faster removal of foreign criminals act.

“The signatories to the petition would like to see the prompt passage of the bill in order to ensure that our streets are safer and that those who do not belong within the boundaries of Canadian borders are quickly removed with as little delay as possible.”
