Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to go back to Mr. MacDonald, because we only had a short period of time with him before. I want to explore a little more some of the safety considerations from a public safety point of view in terms of fraudulent smuggling and trafficking events, and what they mean to our society, what they mean to the immigration system and its integrity, and certainly what they mean to those people I described earlier and the threats to them inside and outside this country.
The minister also said that some of the smugglers, when it's in their interest, will dispose of these people. Sometimes, when they are caught on the high seas, they simply throw the people overboard to cover their tracks. That's obviously inhumane and criminal. Can you further elaborate on some of the threats?
One thing we didn't talk about is the possible terrorist threat, as well. While 99.9% of the people, one way or another, whether they're coming here illegally or not, may want to try to come to Canada for ultimately good purposes, there's always that small percentage of people who don't, and they're here to do us harm.
Can you talk about that, sir?
