Mr. Speaker, I thank the Office of the Auditor General for its report.
The report clearly demonstrates how inefficient and underfunded the asylum system was when we inherited it from the Conservatives. We committed to fix the problem and that work is already bearing fruit.
Budget 2019 includes the largest investment in the history of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada to help it make fast, fair and final decisions.
We have also cleared the backlogs left by the Conservatives, who had people waiting up to eight years for a final hearing.
