Mr. Chair, we agree that if the government is going to use public policy considerations in order to deny entry, the criteria should be well defined in the legislation, but we also want to ensure the framework is one which is carefully reviewed and discussed in its own committee study.
We heard very little of what should be considered or included specifically in the framework in clause 8. As such, we'll be voting against this NDP amendment as well as the clause in Bill C-43 itself.
