Mr. Speaker, one thing I can say in defence of 60 Minutes is that it started its series by attacking its own system first.
What Americans did not hear last night was that so far in 2002, 72% of Canada's refugee claimants have entered Canada from the United States of America. Another thing they did not hear was that in the December budget the Government of Canada devoted over $7 billion to increased defence and security measures. Another message that we need to ensure is repeated over and over again is that the 19 terrorists involved on September 11 entered the United States not from Canada.
