Mr. Speaker, the immigration department states in the news report that it is going to support temporary, sustainable housing for asylum seekers in addition to using hotel rooms.
Let me be very clear. When the federal government is being asked to prepare for a wave of migration, what it needs to do is increase its workforce at the borders. The government is being asked to support the RCMP and border services, which have said that there is a shortage of between 2,000 and 3,000 officers. The government should not be renting hotel rooms. It is certainly not being asked to reopen new intakes like Roxham Road.
We have been clear. Will the minister present a plan that is also clear?
