Mr. Chair, about 35,000 people have had instant access to the country and hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for many years to come into the country. Therefore, we effectively now have a two-tiered access into Canada's immigration system because the minister is refusing to close the loophole in the safe third country agreement.
Given his insistence on this, will the minister take responsibility for the protests that are occurring at the U.S.–Canada border?
