Mr. Speaker, these days we are hearing a lot of things about asylum seekers, and not very thoughtful things. It makes people lose sight of what is important. There are too many asylum seekers in Quebec for our capacity to accommodate them. We are incapable of providing services to these people, who are living in misery.
There are some provinces that can help them but are refusing to do so. The only humane way to handle the record influx of asylum seekers is for everyone to do their part. The provinces are not budging. The federal government needs to step in. This falls under federal jurisdiction.
What is the minister doing to get things moving?
