I support the call from Deputy Coppinger for the House to take a stand on this issue. Most of us thought that things could not get any worse but this new low, involving the separation of infants and toddlers from their parents in order to intimidate the parents, is shocking. We must be very clear in the stance taken across all benches in this House and we must make our views known to the United States.
