Mr. Speaker, today I join thousands of medical professionals and other concerned Canadians who have come together in 16 cities in a national day of action to demand that government reverse its short-sighted and mean-spirited cuts to refugee health care.
The minister is misleading Canadians. He is not only rejecting failed claimants, he is shamefully refusing health care to refugees as they arrive in Canada.
The minister has said that refugees are a federal responsibility. The doctors are asking when he will accept his responsibility, exhibit Canadian values and reverse these cuts.
