Great, and thank you.
Just launching off on that, we know that asylum seekers are fleeing governments that persecute them, and they also face tremendous dangers in crossing the border into Canada. I think everyone in this room can recall the story about the family who died at the Manitoba border in the freezing cold even within the last two years. I've heard stories of women giving birth nearly at the border, even at the Roxham Road crossing. The dangers are real.
What measures do you think we need to take to make life easier for them when they enter Canada, so vulnerable, without them having to risk their lives in this manner?
