Madam Speaker, let us talk about the human cost.
There is a labour shortage in our classrooms. We cannot just ask our teachers to take in even more children who do not speak French and who are more likely to have special needs. The elastic is stretched thin and stretching it further would cut the quality of education offered to all children. Quebec does not have the resources to take care of all the asylum seekers from Roxham Road on its own. That is the reality.
When will the government finally suspend the safe third country agreement so that asylum seekers can be welcomed across Canada?
