Mr. Speaker, the immigration and refugee protection act, which is presently before the Senate, deals with a number of the issues to which the hon. Leader of the Opposition has referred. It deals with the powers to detain and, whenever we have evidence that anyone poses a security threat, we do detain. It also sets out the rules very clearly for streamlining processes. I, as well as everyone, has been concerned about how long it takes for us to determine that someone is not eligible to stay in Canada and to deport them.
