Replying to Alexis Deschênes (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Chair, the number of asylum seekers does indeed appear to be falling, but the distribution remains as unfair as ever. Quebec receives 38.78% of all asylum seekers, even though it accounts for just 22% of the Canadian population. Will the minister acknowledge to the House that, so far, her efforts have failed?”
