Immigration
November 28, 2010

Mr. Richard Harris (Cariboo—Prince George, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I would first like to thank the Liberal opposition members for leaving the new Conservative government a 750,000 file backlog because of their ineptitude running the immigration system.
   
I have to make this comment. The member for Don Valley West is trying to draw a comparison between this latest ship that came over run by human smugglers and the 1939 St. Louis and the Komagata Maru. For him to do that is very deceiving and it is misrepresenting the facts between the ships we are talking about now and the two incidents, one in 1939 and one in 1914. He should be ashamed of himself for trying to draw that conclusion.
