I'm sorry, Madam Chair. The minister knows that I only have six minutes, and his answer is a bit too long.
Minister, my question is not complicated: when will the safe third country agreement be suspended?
At present, some RCMP officers are managing Roxham Road instead of doing their job, which is to tackle organized crime and arms trafficking. If this agreement were suspended, that road would be closed. You know that very well, Minister.
Yesterday, the prime minister told us that the government was in discussions with representatives of the United States to modernize the agreement. According to the information I have obtained, these negotiations have stalled, and they are not a priority for your government. What is happening right now is very serious. The situation at Roxham Road has led to an increase in gun trafficking, and the Quebec market is flooded with illegal firearms. As we speak, people are dying. Criminal groups are taking advantage of the situation, since the RCMP cannot do its job properly.
What are you waiting for to suspend the safe third country agreement?
