Mr. Speaker, yes, the Constitution Act actually says under section 95 that Parliament has the right to set immigration law, number one. Number two, the Kanyinda ruling is inherently about immigration. It is actually kind of hilarious that the member would say it was not. It ruled that asylum seekers, a class of immigrants, have the constitutional right to a social welfare program, which the province had put limits on. This is a direct incursion on provincial jurisdiction. The Liberals' misunderstanding of the program is what is leading to this mass immigration, open border policy that is eroding Canada's national identity and our social and economic fabric. The intervention my colleague made there was indicative of the entire government's ignorance on this file and its lack of willingness to treat it seriously. A Conservative government would restore order and fairness to this file.
In the House of Commons on March 26th, 2026. See this statement in context.
