That the motion be amended by deleting all of the words after the word “That” and substituting the following:       

“this House decline to give second reading to Bill C-31, An Act to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, the Balanced Refugee Reform Act, the Marine Transportation Security Act and the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Act, because it: (   a)            places an unacceptable level of arbitrary power in the hands of the Minister; (b)           allows for the indiscriminate designation and subsequent imprisonment of bone fide refugees for up to one year without review; (c)            places the status of thousands of refugees and permanent residents in jeopardy; (d)        punishes bone fide refugees, including children, by imposing penalties based on mode of entry to Canada; (e)           creates a two-tiered refugee system that denies many applicants access to an appeals mechanism; and (f)           violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and two international conventions to which Canada is signatory.”.
