Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In a nutshell, Minister Miller, you're saying that asylum seekers and refugees are a shared responsibility. However, we know that Quebec takes in 55% of Canada's asylum seekers. We also know that Quebec has a $460 million bill for the social services provided, such as housing and French‑language instruction. Quebec is asking you to pay the bill. The federal government isn't providing any services and doesn't want to pay the bill. Given all these facts, Minister Miller, your conclusion is that the Canada‑Quebec accord is a bad agreement, and that Quebec owes Ottawa money.
My question is quite simple. On Friday, when you meet with the minister and she asks you to pay the $460 million, will you tell her that the Canada‑Quebec accord is bad for Ottawa, that it's a bad agreement and that Quebec also owes Ottawa money?
