I'm able to hear your lovely voice again, Madam Chair.
I'd like to follow up on the conversation my friend Ms. Rempel Garner had with Ms. Maulfair. I agree that we must be careful not to make asylum seekers scapegoats, but we have to be doubly careful, since it's also important not to give asylum seekers expectations that are irreconcilable with the resources of host societies.
That's more or less the problem we saw in the case of Roxham Road. When we, the members of the Bloc Québécois, asked questions about that issue, people made us out to be somewhat opposed to immigration, when that isn't the case. Organizations that help immigrants told us that it was a source of misery and that some smugglers were taking advantage of people's vulnerability. We have to be very careful when attributing this kind of populist thinking to people, since it's quite a thorny issue.
I'd like to come back to this, because I know that there are distribution mechanisms in Europe. In recent years, this issue has been discussed at length in Quebec. Quebec has received a higher percentage of asylum seekers than its demographic weight.
Do you not think it would be a good idea to have a system for distributing asylum seekers in Canada if we want them to integrate successfully and have public services that meet their expectations?
