Q: Will Bill C-31 reduce human smuggling?

A: A number of measures in the Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act are targeted at human smuggling:
• prosecution of human smugglers is easier; 
• minimum sentences on convicted human smugglers are now imposed; 
• owners of ships used for human smuggling are now held accountable; 
• an arrival of a group of people into Canada is now designated as an irregular arrival, making those involved subjects to the Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act;
• participants in a designated irregular arrival will be detained, excluding foreign nationals younger than 16; 
• people who arrive by a designated irregular arrival are not able to apply for permanent resident status for five years following their arrival, 
• they will not receive greater health benefits than Canadian public.
