The judge accepted that. "At the heart of the applicant's claim is that she is a lesbian member of the U S army, who was harassed and threatened at the same base where a gay member of the army was beaten to death and who feels she could not rely on her superiors to secure protection. 'She fears that she could be punished for leaving an environment where her life is in danger.' New Democrat MP Olivia Chow, welcomed the decision, but said such court cases shouldn't be needed. 'The taxpayers can save a lot of money if Stephen Harper would just follow the will of Parliament and allow war resisters to stay in Canada,' she said. 'There's a small number of them, they're winning in court. It's costly. It's a lot cleaner if there's special program that allows the ones who have filed claims to stay in Canada.' In June 2008, the House of Commons passed a resolution urging the government to allow American military deserters to stay in Canada. The government has ignored the motion, which was passed by the combined opposition against the Conservative minority."
