What a mess. There are over 300,000 asylum claims, and it will likely take 25 years to process the backlog. Your government has spent over $2 billion on things like hotel rooms for bogus asylum claimants. Bogus asylum claimants are getting resources that Canadians aren't eligible for, and here we are today.
Minister, the Canadian Bar Association, Refugee Law Lab, Amnesty International and other legal advocacy groups have argued that the immigration provisions found in Bill C-12 are unconstitutional. Several of them have said that they are preparing for challenges and that there could be over 24,000 court challenges.
Have you, Minister, directed your officials to begin preparing to defend the provisions of this bill in court in advance of these challenges?
