Mr. Speaker, for six years now the federal government has repeatedly said that it is negotiating with the Americans on Roxham Road, but no one has heard anything about it. Who is negotiating on behalf of Canada and with whom? What are the objectives of the negotiation? How often are discussions held? When did the negotiations begin? What is the target date for seeing some results? Who does the negotiator report the hits and misses to? We want answers.

Mr. Speaker, it is nice to hear the Bloc Québécois's work on the refugee file being recognized, for once. This government just admitted how hard we are working and how much we care about the future of migrants and of Quebec. I thank my colleague. Now, that does not change the facts. We still do not have an answer about the negotiations. People advocating for asylum seekers have the right to know. If the negotiations were truly moving forward, the government would be able to tell us who the negotiator is, with whom that individual is speaking, and how many meetings have taken place. It is not complicated. We want transparency and answers.
