Thank you, Mr. Chairperson.
I guess the reason for this particular motion is to clearly illustrate, by picking 5,000—because even when I made reference to 5,000, you could hear a little bit of a gasp, I guess—that there are those in Canada, and in particular the Liberal Party, who just do not support the establishment of two tiers of refugees.
We believe that the whole idea of designating is wrong—two people come into the country and they can be designated, and that sets them into a totally different stream; they will be treated differently. We believe that is wrong. There is only one refugee.
If by chance we get a boatload of 5,000 people arriving, well, one can make that determination at that point, I guess. Here it's more just to illustrate for us by making this amendment that from the Liberal Party's perspective there is only one class of refugee.
Presenter after presenter made it very clear that this is in Canada's best interest.
That's the essence of the motion. If you support Canada having one level of refugee, then I suggest you vote in favour of it.
