Mr. Speaker, I think it is important to understand what a safe third country is. It is not automatic. Unlike the official opposition, we do not want to close the borders.
We want to give ourselves options. Under our own legislation, as signatories to the Geneva convention, we are required to comply with this.
With a safe third party agreement, we could also consider other options. This does not mean that we would not take seriously situations like the one the hon. member described.
