Mr. Speaker, I reject the premise of what the member opposite has said. I want to give him important information.
As Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, my officials are responsible at ports of entry for people coming into Canada. Last year they identified and stopped over 25,000 people coming into Canada from the United States when there were criminality concerns.
Border patrols of both U.S. and Canadian law enforcement do their best to patrol our borders but immigration stops people coming into Canada.
