| Message | Mr. Speaker, We could compromise to agree on the articles on immigration and refugee policies. However, this is a No vote from us due to article on stricter border control. While we do believe we need security checks at the border, we think the current policy is fine and there is no need to be so strict on border control as to make inconvenience and possibly deter travel to our country.
