Mr. Chair, the Bloc Québécois is quite concerned about what happened after the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act was passed some time ago, especially with regard to the Refugee Appeal Division. We are concerned about the coming into force of bills. We want to be sure that parliamentarians are able to do their work, that the spirit of compromise at the committee is respected and the will of Parliament is fully respected as well.
The intent of this amendment is simply to make sure that the entire bill will come into force at the same time. We also want to avoid a situation where a government could decide to exclude one of the provisions that the committee has passed just because it does not suit its purpose any more. I think that we have to make sure that the spirit of the bill is observed in its entirety. I did not want to specify the date on which the bill would come into force, but, if this amendment is passed, the government is going to have to put all of it into effect.
