Mr. Speaker, what the government is calling irregular entries are supposed to be irregular.
In Quebec, 98% of the asylum seekers who crossed a land border went through Roxham Road. There is nothing confusing about it. No one is coming through regular border crossings anymore. Looking at all the provinces and all the entries via land, sea and air, Roxham Road is the route used by 64% of asylum seekers in Canada.
Does the minister find it normal that, under his watch, irregular entry at Roxham Road has become the official and internationally recognized way to claim asylum in Canada?
