Immigration Act  Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the parliamentary secretary. What in this legislation addresses the concern of the member for Québec-Est, removing violent criminals who are not citizens of this country? What in the legislation deals with that problem?

Immigration Act  Mr. Speaker, I am delighted the hon. member for Calgary Northeast is speaking for the member for Québec-Est, who I am sure will manage to speak for himself as well. At any rate I would suggest that the hon. member for Calgary Northeast read the legislation. It is there in the bill.

Immigration Act  Colleagues, with great respect I think members should try to treat each other with a little bit more respect than was just given in that answer. I wonder if the parliamentary secretary has any comment on that.

Immigration Act  I declare the amendment lost. The next question is on the main motion.

Immigration Act  Debate.

Immigration Act  Agreed.

House debate  The House resumed from September 19 consideration of the motion that Bill C-44, an act to amend the Immigration Act and the Citizenship Act and to make a consequential amendment to the Customs Act, be read the second time and referred to a committee; and the amendment.

Immigration Act  Is the House ready for the question?

Immigration Act  Question.

Immigration Act  Are we voting on the whole bill or just on the amendment?

Immigration Act  On the amendment. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the amendment?

Immigration Act  No.

Immigration Act  All those in favour of the amendment will please say yea.

Immigration Act  Yea.

Immigration Act  All those opposed will please say nay.
