Mr. Speaker, the government House leader and the government are long on words but short on action.
If they are committed to helping Somali Canadians, why have they failed to deliver the funds promised under the Canada–Ontario immigration agreement? As this agreement expired, the Conservative government withheld $207 million under the agreement. Almost half of Canada's immigrants settle in Ontario and the government is letting us down.
When will the government pay its bill? When will it sit down with Ontario and negotiate a new agreement? That is $207 million.
