Madam Speaker, it is ironic that comes from one of the separatists from Quebec. I am not too sure whether the proportionate share of immigrants and refugees is quite received in Quebec as it is elsewhere.
We said that we should reduce the level of immigration. We acknowledge there is a need for immigration but we do not acknowledge the high levels. We acknowledge the need for genuine refugees on a humanitarian basis. That is not what this discussion is about.
Regardless of how many people come into the country, a proportion will be criminals. We acknowledge that. We know that of the citizens within this country a certain number are criminals. There is no question about that. We have to acknowledge that those people coming in who do not abide by the laws, who terrorize innocent victims in Canada should not be allowed to stay. That is what C-44 is trying to address.
My whole theme on this discussion is the fact that we cannot necessarily get travel warrants to remove them from the country. The minister told me that yesterday. Therefore what is being put into C-44 and what is actually going to be achieved at the end are two different things.
