Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. Is it the NDP's position that Canadian taxpayers should pay for the medical expenses of illegal migrants and failed asylum claimants who have no right to be in Canada? While that might be the NDP's position, that is not the position of any government in the world. Medicare falls under provincial jurisdiction. If the provinces want to provide medicare to illegal migrants, that is their prerogative.
