Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the Prime Minister back from Borden where he had a chance to meet with refugee families, play a little basketball and kiss a little concrete. Let us say he was quick on the rebound.
All levity aside, surely after being exposed firsthand to the grim experiences of these refugees, the Prime Minister is more sensitized to the unfairness of imposing a head tax on refugees who have lost everything and have nothing.
Will the Prime Minister today assure these refugees and all refugees coming to Canada that if they choose to stay they will not have to pay?
