Recently, our Conservative government introduced the Preventing Human Smugglers from Abusing Canada’s Immigration System Act.  We did this as part of our strategy to reduce illegal immigration incidents, like the one this summer off the coast of BC.

This Act makes it easier to prosecute human smugglers, impose mandatory minimum prison sentences on convicted smugglers–and hold ship owners and operators to account for use of their ships in human smuggling operations.

While this legislation is an important part of our strategy to stop immigration abuse, it’s not our only strategy.

We are also increasing our presence internationally and working to stop illegal immigration in the affected nations.

Your Conservative government supports a fair immigration system and that’s why we are cracking down on the crooks.
