I think our generosity, Madam Speaker, speaks for itself, allowing people to come into Canada, to immigrate legally.
Between April 1, 2005 and March 31, 2010, there have been 21 human smuggling convictions under section 117(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. This number has been confirmed by the Public Prosecution Services of Canada. While there have been a number of successful convictions of migrant smuggling in Canada, there is more to do. It is important to continually strengthen our laws to ensure we have the tools necessary to hold the offenders accountable.
We are talking about organized crime and trying to keep our streets safer for all Canadians.
