“Asylum claims are dropping, but Quebec still takes in almost 39% of asylum seekers while making up only 22% of Canada's population. I want the minister to admit her plan has failed.”
“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?”
