Gabriel Hardy Conservative
“The government is spending almost 900 million dollars on health care for asylum seekers, including those who were rejected. They get dental care and therapy that many Canadians cannot get, while six million Canadians do not have a family doctor. I want the minister to say if this is acceptable.”
“Mr. Chair, the interim federal health program has grown from $211 million to $896 million over four years. Asylum seekers whose claims have been denied in this country receive dental care, physical therapy, and all other services that even our own population does not have access to. In fact, 6 million Canadians do not have access to a family doctor. Does the minister find this acceptable?”
