Thank you very much for that answer.
I think it's particularly important to note, as well, that under article 10 of the safe third country agreement, Canada can in fact give notice that we want to suspend the agreement for 90 days. If we are worried about the big rush of suddenly a million people showing up at our borders, we can see how that works and how well we can manage it.
The government is thinking they can solve the entire issue by going out there, flying to the United States and telling people, “Don't come anymore, because you're really not welcome, even though we say you are.” It won't manage the situation in and of itself. You need a host of approaches to it.
Keep in mind that Canada has an obligation under the UN convention—unless you want to shut down the borders, as our Conservative colleagues are suggesting—to apply the safe third country agreement to the entire border in Canada. If you don't want to go down that route, I think it's incumbent on us to try that, so thank you very much for that answer.
The situation we have where everybody comes through one point or a couple of points of entry creates challenges for the border communities. By allowing different points of entry across different parts of the border, wouldn't that also mitigate the challenges that the border communities face today, where everybody is centred around Roxham Road, for example?
