Mr. Speaker, a sad refugee case is dominating the Saskatchewan legislature. To be clear, this is not a bogus asylum seeker. No claim has been rejected. This refugee was diagnosed with cancer but the federal government will not cover his chemotherapy and other drugs. The provincial government is now picking up those costs.
Premier Wall says that federal policy on this issue is “unbelievable and inconsistent with Canadian values”.
Will the government fix this outrageous problem for this genuine refugee and for Premier Wall?
