Comme nous l’avons entendu, le projet de loi C-4 présente de très graves lacunes, mais il est également contraire à l’image que le Canada s’est donné au fil des décennies, l’image d’un pays accueillant, inclusif, ouvert non seulement aux personnes du monde entier, mais aussi à celles qui souvent doivent se sortir de situations difficiles, qu’elles viennent d’un pays pauvre ou d’un pays où elles étaient victimes de persécution ou de discrimination raciale.
As we have heard, Bill C-4 is deeply flawed. Not only is it deeply flawed, but it also goes against the very image of Canada that we have built over decades, an image that Canada is welcoming, that it is inclusive, that it is open to not only the diversity of people from around the world, but also to the diversity of people who must often escape difficult situations, whether they come from backgrounds of poverty, or racial persecution or discrimination in their countries.
