I just note that this is a gaping hole in our system. At the same time, we've invested resources that are quickly approaching $1 billion to provide handguns to the officers, but we haven't provided them with the tools to know how many people are here illegally.
Over the last year, under the current minister, we've had an increase in removals of 11.2%. However, criminal removals have increased by only 4.3%. We've increased the percentage of removals overall, but the percentage of criminal removals is only one-third of the total. Has there been an actual allocation or prioritization? I would think most Canadians would be interested to know whether an effort is being made to remove criminals, as opposed to people who are here with their families, etc. Was there any indication that this type of prioritization is taking place?
