Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Solicitor General.
Although the Minister of Justice stated in this House last October 7 that some real progress was being made in the battle against the smuggling of illegal immigrants, we learned again this morning that the Canadian borders seem to have become a real
sieve, and that our country is being used as a means of transit for illegal immigrants from Asia headed for the United States.
In light of the intensification of this problem, can the minister tells us what additional efforts his government is bringing to bear on controlling the Canadian borders more effectively?
