We can. Who told you (that) we can't?Do you know the woman that your brother is talking to?
Why can't we [STRIKE]cannot[/STRIKE] delete "that" in this sentence?

You can. In fact, the sentence is more natural without it.Do you know the woman that your brother is talking to?

Always mark text you're discussing by setting it in italics or surrounding it with quotation marks.
Always invert the subject and the verb when forming questions.
