Mr. Speaker, I have two questions for my hon. colleague.
First, does she agree that the main problem with regard to asylum claims is the processing time, which is currently more than 40 months?
Let us look at Europe, for example, which is dealing with waves of migration and where officials have made a significant effort to reduce processing times. In France, the processing time is six months, and in Germany, it is eight months.
Should this government do the same?
Second, the last part of the motion talks about passing policies to “immediately expel foreign nationals convicted of serious crime in Canada”. Currently, convicted criminals must serve their sentences and are then deported. Under this motion, they would no longer have to serve their sentences here, and there is no guarantee that they would serve them in another country.
Could my hon. colleague comment on that?
