Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's the Interim Federal Health Program, and it's an insurance program that covers certain health services. It's kind of the equivalent of the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec. There is a huge lack of awareness of this program in the Quebec health care system. Frontline workers are not accustomed to treating people with refugee status.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I kind of agree with my counterpart. I'm not so sure that Canada can't take in more people. Canada doesn't even to 5% of the world's refugees, and that number has declined over the years. Personally, I think it's a good idea to spread it out, so that the responsibility is shared among the provinces and not concentrated in Quebec.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Good afternoon. We really welcomed today's initiative to draw Parliament's attention to the situation of those who have chosen Canada as a safe haven, as was just mentioned. As other speakers before me have outlined, the issues and challenges experienced by asylum seekers throughout their settlement trajectory have many implications, human, economic, and, most importantly, structural.
