Mr. Speaker, I would ask the parliamentary secretary to look through the bill again to see that there is very little in it to address human smugglers. We would love to be able to crack down on human smugglers; we would love it if this bill were able to go after human smugglers.
If the parliamentary secretary wants to know how, I will give him three ways to do that.
First, we should work with transit countries like Thailand to crack down on and arrest the gangs responsible for human smuggling. The fact is that when the minister announced at one point that 100 arrests had been made in Thailand, those were not arrests of human smugglers but of asylum seekers. So the government's emphasis is again on refugees.
We should also work with transit countries to accept refugees.
Moreover, we should work with originating countries to ensure that their situations improve.
That is not what this bill is doing.
