Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her very important question.
First, the purpose of lifting the moratorium is to regularize the system. Canada has no plans for a mass deportation, but it also has no plans to grant a general amnesty. Each case is different and must be reviewed with compassion and on humanitarian grounds. We will make decisions so as to properly deal with each case.
However, we also have a duty to implement a sound system that will allow us to strike a balance between vigilance and openness.
