Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
During oral questions on immigration, a Conservative member asked the minister about asylum seekers entering Canada through Newfoundland from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French territory, and why these claimants did not seek asylum in France, a G7 ally, instead. The Liberal minister replied that the government’s immigration plan is working, that the number of non-permanent residents has declined, and that the focus is on attracting skilled workers such as health care workers, construction workers, researchers and engineers.Written by AI from the debate.
