Mr. Speaker, I did not intend to get up, but the member never answered the question he was asked. It was a very serious question.
I know the member. I have been in his riding. There are a lot of new Canadians in that riding, and they came in under our current system.
What we are worried about is abuse of the system, unnecessary detention. If the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism is to be the sole decision-maker on what is a “safe country of origin”, I do not believe, given the record of the Conservative government, there would be proper accountability. It dangerously politicizes the refugee system. We know of so many other areas where the government has really been unaccountable.
How can the member stand in his place and say that he has confidence in this new system when he knows that his own government would politicize the system for the government's own reasons?
