Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

A wide-ranging bill to amend Canada's immigration and border control laws. The debate focused on a small aspect of the bill related to extending health benefits to failed asylum claimants. Conservatives argued this is a waste of taxpayer money and that failed claimants should not be entitled to these benefits. Liberals countered that the costs are going down and the benefits are limited and temporary. Other significant aspects of the bill were not meaningfully discussed.
