Yes. I would say that overall Bill C-31 has a number of measures that may well deter individuals from coming to Canada, but I would like to point out and try to underline that detention is not intended and is not designed at all to be a deterrent.
The purpose for a detention, which is in accordance with internal norms for immigration detention, is threefold. Detention is maintained to confirm identity, to ensure that the public is protected from danger so that dangerous persons are not released into the country. And, third, detention is maintained when there is a concern that the individual represents a flight risk and is unlikely to appear for their refugee or immigration processing. Those three conditions are the bedrock of the detention provisions that are proposed under Bill C-31.
