I respectfully put it to you, sir, that a lot of people who are here seeking refuge have work permits. When people are called in to have their PRA, they're asked to bring their work permits. Their kids are going to school, and sometimes we have to stop their schooling in order to take them out.
You just stated again that a lot of them are. However, there is something about “true or false” on the CIC website. There's an e-mail circulating that says not to apply as a pensioner, apply as a refugee. You are overwhelmingly trying to diffuse it and say no, that's not the case.
I'm just wondering, sir, if you want to clear up what you're saying, that a lot of the people here are freeloaders. As an individual who came to this country seeking a better life and had to seek refuge at the airport, I take great exception when a deputy minister of the crown says that people in this country are freeloaders. So sir, I'm going to give you an opportunity to withdraw that remark.
