Madam Speaker, I have a question for my colleague about the exchange of information.
I would like the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons to listen to me so that he realizes that I am speaking about the bill and that there are still things we want to look into and talk about.
We support Bill C-21. We voted on this bill at second and third reading in the House.
The Senate returned the bill with one amendment. However, we have other things to say because the situation has changed since the bill was first introduced in 2016.
In 2017, a situation arose at the border following the Prime Minister's famous tweet. Therefore, today, we have questions about the exchange of information about illegal migrants. Will these people be subject to the law that is in effect? Does the bill have provisions to ensure that people who enter Canada through official ports of entry are subject to the same rules? Will the Americans be informed that these people are arriving in Canada? Do some of these people have criminal records in the U.S.? If so, the Americans may want to come looking for them and take them back.
We could have debated these questions in the House if a time allocation motion had not been moved.
In my opinion, these are very technical elements specific to Bill C-21.
Does my colleague know if the government thought about that before proceeding with a final vote?
