That's precisely my concern. Right now, our capacity to accommodate is not up to par. We've seen it and all the evidence points to it: We can't take in more people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm concerned that suspending the Safe Third Country Agreement would send out a message that Canada's borders are open, you can cross anywhere, let's get moving, and that smugglers or other bad people all over the U.S. and all the way down to South America will take advantage of that opportunity. Unfortunately, I don't believe Canada is in a position to take in that many people in such a short time.
Mr. Handfield and Mr. Boucher, I'd like to hear what each of you has to say about this.
