Mr. Speaker, my intervention will be very brief.
In speaking to Motions Nos. 13 and 14 concerning the conditions of expulsion I believe members of the Bloc Quebecois Party fail to understand what the Canadian people have been saying. Canadians have been putting pressure upon not only the government but upon representatives to Parliament like myself.
As the member representing the Bloc speaks, it would seem we are talking about dealing with people who broke regulations and failed to understand the seriousness of what may have happened and their situation in Canada.
As we look at the bill these are matters of serious intent. The bill is attempting to deal with excluding people from Canada who have committed serious offences. These motions in amendment would erode the intent of the bill. Members of the Reform Party are in favour of much of the bill, but we have great difficulty with the inability of enforcement. For that reason we will be opposing the bill as a whole but we have no intention of weakening the content. We are therefore opposing these two motions.
