Mr. Speaker, the question is extremely appropriate.
As we know, the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has just returned from an official visit to the People's Republic of China, where she discussed this issue with members of the government, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and several governors of provinces from which the illegal migrants and illegal refugees are coming.
The idea here is to pass agreements with the governments of countries where these criminals come from, so that once we have established that these people have committed crimes and are not Canadian residents, action can be taken on the basis of the crimes they have committed. It is therefore a question of signing bilateral agreements with other governments, similar to those which already exist in other areas.
