I think the vast majority of Canadians see human smuggling and cooperation with it as a serious crime, a violation of the integrity of our system. It undermines public confidence in our tradition of refugee protection.
I must say I'm surprised that I still haven't heard, in two years of this debate, a single constructive idea from opposition parties about how else to address the phenomena of widespread human smuggling operations.
This is our best effort to respond to it. If someone has constructive ideas about how else we could do it, we're all ears, but we still haven't heard those ideas.
