Deportation ordered for truck driver charged in deadly Humboldt Broncos bus crash
More than six years after the horrific Humboldt Broncos bus crash, the man driving the semi-truck has been ordered to be deported. An Immigration and Refugee Board hearing was held virtually in Calgary for Jaskirat Singh Sidhu on Friday morning, where the decision was handed out. The decision was a forgone conclusion, according to Sidhu’s lawyer Michael Greene, who has said all that’s required to deport his client is proof that he is not a Canadian citizen and he committed a serious crime. “That happened,” Greene said Friday. “There’s no contest, which is why we conceded those points and it was over and done with within a matter of minutes.” Sidhu was granted full parole last year. Greene said the deportation process could take months or years. Meanwhile, Greene said he plans to file an application asking the government to return Sidhu’s permanent resident status on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Sarah Offin has more.
