So why does it take to weeks to deport a Canadian to Canada?

Are those detainment cells privately owned?

Yeah, the prisons are privately operated. The cynic in me would bet that the agents have some sort of KPI or even kickback from these companies for filling the cells and costing the taxpayer $$$.
