Madam Speaker, Quebec schools are feeling the full effects of what is happening at Roxham Road. Since the beginning of the school year last September, the Quebec government has had to create 224 new classes just to accommodate the children of asylum seekers. That is 224 new classes, while we are in the midst of a shortage of teachers and specialists. That is 224 new classes, the vast majority in the Montreal area where schools are already filled well beyond their capacity. There is a huge human cost to all this, which I will come back to, but first, will Ottawa commit to at least footing the bill?
