Thank you. Almost all of the immigration refugee lawyers who have come in to this committee have said exactly the same thing: that our law already has the necessary provisions.
Talking about the boats that came in, we hear members opposite say that there are 41 who are inadmissible and all this, but I want to correct the record, because a lot of false numbers have been thrown on the record.
We can talk about the MV Sun Sea. We had 493 people who left on the voyage; one perished, and so 492 arrived at our shore. Of those 492 people, only 19 were considered inadmissible. Of that number, 16 are crew members, who are automatically thought of as part of the smuggling ring. So only three out of the 492 were actually considered security risks, and that's because of their former membership, dating back to the 1990s, in the LTTE. None of them was actually considered a current security risk; it was simply based on their past membership.
How do you feel about the misconstruing of facts? I must say that the numbers I just quoted are from lawyers who defended—
