Mr. Speaker, I am very proud of the work the health committee is doing. Canadians would otherwise not even know about the 86,000 asylum claimants who should have been deported and are claiming health benefits. Some of them are receiving very expensive procedures. Some of them are receiving cancer treatments that they should be receiving in their home country after being deported.
I want to make it clear that Conservatives support regulated and legitimate refugee claims. People who are legitimately fleeing war and persecution deserve compassion. We, as the Conservative Party, do support that compassion.
