Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government wants to punish human smugglers with serious prison time and deport illegal immigrants who pay human smugglers.
The Liberal Party, however, wants to give human smugglers a slap on the wrist and reward the illegal immigrants with Canadian citizenship and the ability to sponsor their entire family into Canada.
The Liberal MP for Ottawa South even said that the arrival of illegal boats of Tamils was a “manufactured crisis”.
Would the minister tell this House what the government is doing regarding human smuggling?
