Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-sponsored surge in temporary immigration is creating serious problems when it comes to delivering public services. Look at what is happening right now with asylum seekers. Four provinces are refusing to help Quebec by shouldering their fair share of the responsibility. I am talking about the Conservative premiers of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Alberta. These Conservative premiers are forcing Quebeckers to take in a disproportionate share of asylum seekers. Interestingly enough, we have never heard the Conservative leader tell his buddies to stop overburdening Quebeckers. Would the immigration minister say that this is because the Conservative leader agrees with his buddies?

Mr. Speaker, in the spring, the Liberals promised a plan to spread out asylum seekers among the provinces. It is now the fall, and there is no plan, but that is not stopping Conservatives from concocting ways to sabotage the non-plan before it even sees the light of day. Quebeckers are trapped in the middle, and their public services are overwhelmed. Some asylum seekers in Quebec are unable to get their basic needs met because Quebec has exceeded its intake capacity. When will the Liberals and the Conservatives understand that their irresponsibility is hurting Quebeckers and asylum seekers?
