Mr. Speaker, the minister just said that the Liberals' immigration plan is working. The Liberals are spending at least $800 million this year because they allowed the asylum backlog to mushroom to nearly 300,000 people, many of whom have bogus claims, and allowed them to stay in the country for years. That is why the Liberals had to increase the program to that level. This strains health care, strains housing and makes a mockery of our once-compassionate asylum system.
Is this really what the minister defines as an immigration system that is working?
