Mr. Speaker, unlike the party opposite, this party believes in due process. We believe in our charter of rights and freedoms. We are not going to scrap our charter. We are not going to embarrass Canada internationally by ripping up the Geneva convention. We are going to live up to our legal obligations and ensure that anyone who comes to us making a serious claim and asking for protection under our refugee protection act will receive the due process of the law.
