Mr. Chair, I repeat that this does the exact opposite.
Sitting on the government side and saying we shouldn't be giving the minister this much authority.... I'm almost hesitant to say it, Mr. Chairman, because it's always the government that is trying to promote that the government should be taking responsibility, but this is far too much authority within the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration's purview. We can't support it.
Again, I come back to the fact that it's just not drafted well. This doesn't tighten, it loosens. It treats the irregular arrival of potential refugees in a much more criminal manner than our legislation will.
