Mr. Speaker, the NDP has been very clear since we started debate on this motion that we are absolutely in support of targeting the smugglers and that we should be working with the international community to ensure that they get the punishment they deserve and all the disincentives.
However, we are not in favour of punishing the victims, which is what this bill would do.
Could my colleague tells us exactly what will happen to children who are under 16 when they arrive on one of these boats?
