Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, the member opposite wants to convince Canadians that Conservatives are serious about the border, when they cut $400 million from CBSA. The party opposite wants to pretend that it cares about immigration processing. What was its record under its system? Wait lines

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Madam Speaker, the member opposite is a classic example of that party's efforts to pit one group of immigrants against another. That is exactly what the Conservatives are doing. The member opposite knows full well that refugees and asylum seekers are processed

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Madam Speaker, the member opposite should not speak about courage and border security in the same sentence, because the Conservatives cut $400 million from border security. They did not respond to refugees and asylum seekers when they were in power. They did not invest

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   absolutely no credibility on this issue. What have the Conservatives proposed? They have proposed turning the entire 9,000-kilometre border into an official port of entry without extra resources. They have even suggested that we commandeer a barn at a port of entry. They are not serious.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   reunification, and so on. The Conservatives have an abysmal record.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  , it was against making investments to protect vulnerable people; it was against making investments to secure our border, and it was against making investments to fast-track refugee processes. When we decided to make those investments, the Conservatives voted against them. They voted against

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   security when it cut almost $400 million from the CBSA, jeopardizing the same border security that its members are complaining about now. We will put our record up against the Conservatives' record any day.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   that refugee claims can be heard faster. The Conservatives do not have that record. Their record is they left us with a massive backlog in asylum claims at the IRB. Their record is they left us with fewer border security operations as a result of cutting almost $400 million from CBSA

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   seekers so we minimize the impacts on provincial social services. What is irresponsible is Conservatives cutting funding for CBSA and pretending that they care about the border. What is irresponsible is cutting funding for the IRB and refugee processing. What is irresponsible

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   on the issue of irregular migration. We are responsible on this file. We have invested, as part of budget 2018, $173 million for border security operations, and $74 million for the IRB for faster processing of refugee claims. What is scandalous is that the Harper Conservatives cut $390

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   that there is adequate responsibility and investments in border protection and in the processing of asylum claims. What that party did when it was in government was to irresponsibly cut $390 million from CBSA. It is very rich for that member to talk about border operations when the Conservatives cut

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   of Daesh, vulnerable women, the most vulnerable refugees in the world, the party opposite voted against that measure. When the time came to invest in CBSA, the party opposite voted against that measure. We will take no lessons from the Conservatives on this issue.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   with their own families. Under the mismanagement of the immigration system by the Conservatives, caregivers have been facing wait times of between four and five years. Our government will eliminate the caregiver backlog by the end of 2018, and we will establish a new processing time of only

Citizenship and Immigration committee  When conditional PR was put in place by the Conservative government, women's advocacy groups, other advocacy groups, experts, everyone told them to not do that, because it would place women in vulnerable situations. They didn't listen. They went ahead with a wrong-headed policy

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill for her question. Our government is deeply committed to gender equality and combatting gender-based violence. The former Conservative government ignored women's rights groups, it ignored
