SUPPLEMENTAL REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
AND JUDGMENT
[1]
Having
reviewed the further submissions from the parties, I am prepared to certify a
question in this proceeding but in a slightly modified form from those
presented by Mr. Matas. I will certify the following question:
Does the Minister of Citizenship and
Immigration engage in an abuse of process in continuing to seek a removal order
where the affected individual has been determined not to be a danger to the
public and, if so, can the Immigration Division decline to make an inadmissibility
determination under section 45 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act,
S.C. 2001, c.27 on that basis?
