OTTAWA - Federal opposition leader
Preston Manning says illegal migrants should be given a speedy
hearing and turfed out of Canada within a week if their refugee
claims are unfounded.
Manning is calling on the
federal Liberals to crack down on illegal people-smuggling.
"I don't think
there's much disagreement that that's the kind of system that's
necessary," he said.
Nearly 600 Chinese migrants have landed in four boatloads in
British Columbia during the summer.
Manning's comments came after a meeting with the Chinese
ambassador to Canada.
