Canada has a long tradition of offering humanitarian compassion to people who need protection. That's a reputation that Canada has fought hard to preserve.
I think we all recognize that the system is under strain, though, so we have taken significant steps to address some of the causes of the strains. We're seeing that now in the significant reductions in the last year and a half of asylum claimants coming to Canada, while not sacrificing access to due process and the entitlements that people have.
Obviously, as you all know, Bill C-12 introduces some additional measures that will strengthen our ability to ensure that the limited resources we have for asylum are focused on the cases that most require them and that we continue to evolve the system so that it's targeting the people who absolutely need Canada's protection.
