Mr. Speaker, the use of the interim federal health program has declined by 43% quite recently. We will continue to see that, because we are seeing a dramatic decline in the number of people seeking asylum in this country. It is down by a third, in fact. Let us go one step further, though, and question the premise of the question. Refugees make up 1% of the country's population. Are Conservatives trying to tell us seriously now that refugees are to blame for challenges in the health care system?
The Conservatives demonize, they play right-wing politics and they embrace populism. It is no way forward. We will focus on Canadians.
