It targets refugees as opposed to the real criminals. We also feel that this bill is discriminatory because it creates two classes of designated claimants. There is the likelihood of violating equality rights as set out in the charter and in the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, which prohibits a government from imposing penalties on refugees for illegal presence or entry.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2483705\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We believe that the Conservative government needs to stop using refugees as a political tool and that it must respect human rights.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2483703\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je remercie mon honorable coll\u00e8gue de sa question. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2483704\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est certain que le projet de loi n'arr\u00eatera pas le passage ill\u00e9gal des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s. Il cible les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s au lieu des vrais criminels. Nous estimons aussi que le projet de loi est discriminatoire parce qu'en fait, il cr\u00e9e deux classes de demandeurs d\u00e9sign\u00e9s. Il y a donc une violation probable des droits \u00e0 l'\u00e9galit\u00e9 tels qu'\u00e9nonc\u00e9s dans la Charte et dans la Convention relative au statut des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s, qui interdit aux \u00c9tats d'imposer des p\u00e9nalit\u00e9s aux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s pour entr\u00e9e ou pr\u00e9sence ill\u00e9gale. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2483705\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous croyons que le gouvernement conservateur doit arr\u00eater d'utiliser les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s comme un outil politique et qu'il doit respecter les droits humains. </p>"
