Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Asylum Seekers

Catholic Health Alliance Of Canada Dept: The Catholic Health Alliance of Canada called on Immigration Minister Jason Kenney to reverse the policy in a letter dated March 8, according to CBC. "Canadians have been clear that they do not want illegal immigrants and asylum seekers with unfounded refugee claims receiving free, gold-plated health-care benefits that are better than those that hard-working Canadian taxpayers and seniors receive," the statement read. "Our government has listened and acted." The federal government is standing by a decision to stop paying for most health-care services for failed refugee claimants. Kenney was unavailable for a comment Monday, but a statement from his office makes it clear there will be no change. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
