Mr. Speaker, it comes as no surprise that the Conservatives did not show up in Halifax last week.
They did not want to face the provinces' discontent in the wake of cuts to health care for extremely vulnerable people, cuts that were made without any consultation. But that is not all. This morning, we discovered that the minister now wants to privatize refugee sponsorship and cap private applications.
Will the minister commit to working with private sponsors and not just using them to off-load the government's responsibilities?
