Mr. Speaker, I know very well that the policy of accepting some refugees in Canada does not please the Reform Party. Canada has always been more able than any other country to help people in very difficult positions around the world.
I do not want to do that, in conformity with the laws that this Parliament has passed. If there is some need for change in the legislation, the House of Commons will have an occasion to study it and make recommendations.
This government in a year and one month has shown that we have the proper balance. There are some incidents. It is not easy to come to a conclusion in cases like that.
We have appointed members with their own convictions and they try to do their best. In this case apparently there might have been some error made and the person decided to resign. He has the right to resign and somebody else will be appointed. We want to maintain a policy that permits the people of the world, when they are in very difficult situations, to know there are some people who are concerned about human beings, the Canadian government.
