Madam Speaker, I understand why the Liberals and the Conservatives are squabbling, but I still think that there are some worthwhile aspects to Bill C-12.
I am thinking, for example, of a situation that the Bloc Québécois has often spoken out about in recent years, and that is how refugees who entered the country irregularly between official border crossings and hid for 14 days were given the right to claim asylum, despite the safe third country agreement. Bill C‑12 seems to remedy that.
There are a few measures like that one that I thought the Conservatives would be happy about, even though they are naturally inclined to oppose anything proposed by the Liberals, sometimes with good reason.
I would like my colleague to comment on this specific measure that remedies an existing problem, namely, one way illegal refugees kept getting to stay in Canada.
