We're not talking about someone getting hit by a car, bleeding out on the street and needing to be taken to an emergency room. We're talking about 54% of the entire cost of the IFHP covering these supplementary benefits. These are things that Canadians don't even receive without paying out of pocket or going through their private insurer.
I'm going to move on.
Between 2020 and 2024, the PBO says the IFHP's costs grew from $211 million to $896 million. What specifically failed in our immigration system? Maybe it's an issue with Liberal policy design that allowed the program to more than quadruple in cost in just five years.
