Bloc Quebecois: Human Misery

Conservative Minority Dept: Ignatieff says the bill is "unsalvageable" so there's no point dissecting it or trying to amend it, according to CTV. All three opposition parties say the bill punishes refugee claimants rather than the unscrupulous smugglers who traffic in human misery and liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has announced that his party won't support the bill at second reading, meaning they'll try to kill it before it can even be studied by a Commons committee. NDP immigration critic Olivia Chow says her party agrees, as does the Bloc Quebecois, which leaves the Conservative minority government without sufficient support to win approval in principle. As reported in the news.
