Mr. Speaker, I will try to start at the beginning. First, we are not trying to scare anyone. We simply want people to obey our laws.
What I would like to tell my colleague is that I am the son of immigrants. Fifty-five years ago, my parents decided to come to Canada. They went through the process like many of the people who knock on our doors, contacting our offices, Service Canada and immigration services. They want to come to Canada to contribute in their own way to its development. We are not refusing refugees or immigrants; on the contrary. What we are saying is that we want a proper immigration process. We want the government and the Prime Minister to act responsibly.
If my colleague wants to know where I got the information on the word “illegal”, I encourage her to visit https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship.html, where it says that it is illegal to enter Canada between official ports of entry. I will be happy to give her a copy of the document if she is interested.
