Thank you.
I just want to clarify one other thing. When we talk about this bill, I keep hearing that there will be mandatory detention for one year. That's not correct. I want to clarify that at this committee today, because I keep hearing it.
In fact, once most refugees are identified they can be released. I want to make that perfectly clear, because I keep hearing the words “prisons” and “mandatory detention for one year”, which is not really the case.
Mr. Kurland, I have a couple of other questions. On other options to prevent illegal immigration, some people have suggested that we simply impose more visas on the countries that are currently visa-exempt. What is your opinion of that? Do you think that's the solution to all of our problems here in Canada with asylum seekers, illegal refugees, or fraudulent claimants?
