I want to stress that we are opposed to the two-tiered designations. We heard some of the concerns that were expressed by my colleagues across the way to the effect that when you get a large group coming in and you don't know too much about them, once you designate them as irregular, it is a different process.
We're trying to avoid capturing families. The current language as proposed in the legislation would affect any groupings of more than two. This is just ridiculous. I know that our system could easily process 50. We could have made it 100, which is where many of us wanted to go. But once again, because we want to work with the government to address some of these issues, we came up with the very reasonable number of 50. I'm disappointed that my colleague across the way could not see the huge olive branch we reached out with.
