I understand all that, Minister, and I'm going to interrupt you here. Hundreds of millions of people on the planet live in countries where living conditions are very difficult. That's why our immigration targets give us some flexibility in welcoming refugees. In the past few years, we've welcomed millions of refugees to Canada, particularly Syrians, Afghans and Ukrainians. We welcome refugees to Canada in an orderly fashion. These people have their place, we invite them, we welcome them, and we take care of them.
However, I think Roxham Road is a problematic immigration pathway. Consider the example of a person who comes from another country and tries to immigrate to Canada. He enters the United States, then travels to Roxham Road and hopes that Canada will take him in. I believe the acceptance rate is currently 50%. The remaining 50%, people who have left everything behind but are denied entry, are now even worse off than they previously were.
Don't those people, who were hoping to improve their lives, wind up with even more problems?
