Mr. Speaker, first, not all refugee claimants are criminal and it is wrong for the Leader of the Opposition to suggest it. That is just fear mongering.
However let me say to the Leader of the Opposition that he does not have to take my word for it. Let me tell him what Ambassador Cellucci was saying. The ambassador of the United States said as recently as this weekend that he is indeed very impressed with the work that is being done in Canada to increase security and address these issues.
