For nine years his family has been a key contributor to London, Ontario's life and to the business community. However, he and his family are currently at risk of being deported to Brazil on July 3. While there is a humanitarian application waiting to be heard, we fear their loss in our whole community. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1177077\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is just the kind of industrious family the government says it wants for Canada. It is now among us with a proven track record.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1177078\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the <a data-HoCid=\"105834\" href=\"/politicians/diane-finley/\" title=\"Diane Finley\">Minister of Citizenship and Immigration</a> or the <a data-HoCid=\"78755\" href=\"/politicians/stockwell-day/\" title=\"Stockwell Day\">Minister of Public Safety</a> show compassion, fulfill their own policy and permit the DePrato family to remain while its application is reviewed?</p>",
