Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my hon. friend from Bourassa if he is aware of our funding profile of the office of the High Commissioner for Refugees'. We have heard from the hon. minister that there is a queue for refugees. I continue to respectfully dispute this notion, but if there is one and we are depending on the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to provide such assistance, why is it that Canada is not adequately funding this voluntarily funded branch of the United Nations?
In the House of Commons on March 16th, 2012. See this statement in context.
