The backdrop: on October 21, 2010, the Government introduced Bill C-49, human smugglers to the prevention of the law on Immigration of the Canada system abuse.
This monitoring, the month of August, the arrival of a ship called the Sun sea off the coast of British Columbia Colombia with 492 passengers Tamils. Each of them were arrested by Canadian authorities who were concerned that they might have a link to the Tigers Tamil outlaw.
At the time, Vic Toews, Minister of public safety, said that the ship may contain a "suspected terrorists and human smugglers."
Ten months earlier, 76 Sri Lanka had made a similar trip on a boat called the Lady of the ocean. According to officials of the Canadian Government, asylum had paid smugglers as much as $ 45,000 each to win passage to the Canada.
All the passengers on the ocean Lady were released after investigation.
In the case of the sea, Sun, only two of the passengers were determined to have links with the Tigers and they were returned to Sri Lanka. About 30 are still being held.
So far, it has cost Canadian taxpayers over $ 25 million to $ to detain and investigate the migrants of the sea of Sun.
Bill C-49.
Bill C-49 essentially would create a second class of refugee applicants for asylum to the Canada. If it passes, any person who arrives in the country in what the Minister designates as an "illegal event" will be subject to harsh new constraints.
Include mandatory detention up to a year without independent review; denial of the right to appeal an adverse decision to the refugee Appeal Division of the Council of refugee status; a restriction on the application for permanent residence for five years; and strict limits on the movement of staff and the family unit.
Bill C-49 is opposed by a wide range of groups, including the public service of the Canada Alliance, the Canadian Bar Association, the Canadian Council of refugees and dozens of church groups, trade unions, immigrant groups, social services agencies and all three parties of the opposition in the House of Commons.
The main complaint is that the Bill is smuggling more than couriers.
The Government hopes that by imposing severe sanctions, it can discourage people to pay for illegal passage to the Canada.
However, critics argue, the Bill violates the legal obligations of the Canada by virtue of the Charter of rights and freedoms, the 1951 Refugee Convention, the International Covenant on Civil and political rights and the Convention on the rights of the child.
They also point out that the Supreme Court of the Canada has recently cancelled a statute which attempted to impose the three months of detention without judicial review on persons detained under the security of the mandates; This Act is therefore unlikely to be maintained if it is adopted.
The ad
"Stephen Harper has a plan to crack down in the human smugglers and bogus claimants who jump the queue".
Technically, there is no queue for refugees. International law ensures that people who fear persecution have the right to seek asylum in another country.
Once there, the host Government determines whether the claim is valid.
The arrival of 500 people on a ship present logistical challenges, but they represent only two per cent of the total number of applications submitted to the Canada last year and there is no reason to think that any of the other creditors are disadvantaged by their arrival.
If migrants are actually "false claimants" because they do not have a legitimate fear of persecution and should more properly applying as immigrants, Refugee Council is already equipped to take this decision.
"And Michael Ignatieff and its partners in the coalition, they oppose to temporarily detain illegal migrants".
Currently, most of the claimants are not held on their arrival in the Canada and those who are detained are generally released in a few days or weeks.
Bill C-49 calls for detention without appeal for one year, that perhaps extends the definition of "temporary."
"They fight even more severe penalties for human smugglers."
In announcing their opposition to the Bill last December, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff declared "conservative legislation is not enough hard on smugglers and target their victims instead.
As criticism of public security of the party, Mark Holland, "we are looking for stronger provisions for the crews of these smuggling boats, the stronger seizure provisions for assets of smugglers and most important resources for the efforts of the implementation of the right to prosecute these criminals abroad - none of which is in project" Bill C-49. ?
"Ignatieff and his reckless coalition - low security at the border, dangerously soft on crime."
Opposition parties say that they would support the conservatives if they were effectively the crime of human smuggling. But it is the amalgamation of refugees and of crime, specifically terrorism, that seems to bother many people, including the head of the Bloc Gilles Duceppe.
In the last week, English-language debate, Duceppe complained "when I see these types of ads that define these people as criminals, there is no other word for this, I cannot simply accept that.".
At a press conference in Vancouver, shortly before the election, Toews deplored a Canadian attitude of hardening towards immigration and suggested that Bill C-49 a few ways to fix this.
At the same time, one could argue that ads like this contribute to the hardening of attitudes in unjustifiable playing the card of crime.
