Mr. Speaker, I want to touch on the comments we heard from the minister regarding the transfer of prisoners.
Members may recall that the Americans sent us a diplomatic note on this issue, and the problem was inconsistency. The problem was that we were not doing our job here. This legislation will not help that. The Americans are telling us to take care of our own and we are saying no.
The minister said that individuals would fulfill their sentence there, but there will be no supervision when they come back to Canada. People here are saying that this would make public safety worse, not better.
I would like to hear the minister's comments on that.
