Mr. Speaker, people smuggling is rampant in Canada. Boatloads of human cargo land on our shores. Our airports are increasingly becoming sieves for illegal migrants and the government does not even care enough to prosecute the captains involved in people smuggling.
Canadians, especially new immigrants, have called on the government to make this issue a priority, yet there is no mention of it whatsoever in the throne speech.
Why is the smuggling of human cargo, the enslavement of thousands of people and the infiltration of organized crime not important to the government?
