The family of one of the victims of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash in 2018 says they are "thankful" for a decision by a Calgary immigration board to deport the driver of the truck involved.
On Friday morning, the Immigration and Refugee Board in Calgary decided that Jaskirat Singh Sidhu would be deported.
Toby Boulet, the father of Logan Boulet, one of the victims of the Saskatchewan fatal crash, shared his relief over the decision on Friday morning.
"Bernadine and I are thankful for the decision today as we continue to believe that Mr. Sidhu should be deported from Canada," he said.
"We are prepared to remain diligent in this belief even as Mr. Sidhu may launch further appeals."
Ryan Straschnitzki, one of the Humboldt Broncos players who survived the crash, said he holds "no negative emotions" toward Sidhu or his family.
"It’s kind of out of my hands it’s not really my responsibility but obviously you want the best for someone, and the best for a human," he told CTV News in an interview on Friday.
