Burton Bailey Conservative
“Thousands of people whose refugee claims were rejected are still in Canada getting public health care. The government has lost track of 28,000 of them. Where are they, and when will the government deport them?”
“Mr. Speaker, 74,000, three‑quarters the size of Red Deer, is the number of rejected refugees still in Canada getting luxury, taxpayer-funded health care that Canadians can only dream of. They are supposed to be deported, not given better care than those paying for it. Worse, the Liberal government has lost track of 28,000 of these fraudsters. They have vanished into our communities and are still billing Canadians. Where are these 28,000 fraudsters, and when will the Liberal government deport them?”
