“I want the health minister to explain why rejected asylum claimants, including people who have committed violent crimes, get extra health benefits that law-abiding Canadians do not get.”

“Mr. Speaker, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, 74,000 rejected asylum claimants remain eligible for luxury health benefits like physiotherapy and counselling under the Liberals. One of those rejected asylum claimants was Fawad Ahmad. After leaving Afghanistan, he went to the United States, where he choked his wife and threatened to choke her again if she called the police. He then entered Canada and claimed asylum, but was rejected. Can the health minister explain why rejected asylum claimants who choke their wives get better health benefits than law-abiding Canadians?”

“A man who was rejected for asylum still gets government-funded health benefits, like counselling and physiotherapy, after committing violence in the United States. I want the health minister to admit this is wrong.”

“Mr. Speaker, maybe the Liberals need a taxpayer-funded counselling session to understand why Canadians are furious. After leaving Afghanistan, Fawad Ahmad went to the United States where he choked his wife and threatened to choke her again. He later entered Canada and claimed asylum, but was rejected. Yet the Liberals kept him eligible for taxpayer-funded luxury health benefits like physiotherapy and counselling. Will the health minister finally admit this is wrong, or does she believe rejected asylum claimants deserve better health benefits than Canadians paying the bill?”

“The minister does not know where nearly 30,000 rejected asylum seekers are, even though they have deportation orders. They are hiding from the law, but they still get free health care. I want to know why the government is paying for their health care instead of helping Canadian families.”

“Mr. Speaker, yesterday the minister confirmed she has no clue where nearly 30,000 rejected asylum claimants with active deportation orders are. These people are wanted by the government and are hiding from authorities, therefore they are breaking the law. Yet all of them are still entitled to better health care than Canadians. It is more costs, more waste, more corruption and more of the same. This Prime Minister is just another costly Liberal. Why does this Liberal government continue to let thousands of fake refugee fugitives freeload luxury health coverage on the backs of struggling families?”
