Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I do have an issue with the term “illegal”, just for the record. I think, just based on Mr. Tilson's question, that if 69% of the people who come irregularly are accepted, they presumably become legal at that point. I think we perhaps may be making a presumption that they're illegal, and I think it goes to the characterization of asylum seekers as undesirable and criminal, so I do, to some extent, take exception to Mr. Tilson's assertion that people who are crossing are illegal.
To our point with respect to settlement services, I want to talk about the issue of legal aid funding. It's an issue that's been quite important to many refugee claimants who have had limited support from the legal community. I'm wondering how your proposed funding in the 2018 budget will assist them in obtaining proper legal representation for their cases.
