I was struck by the number in the report: 125,000 refugees (and presumably also included are refugee claimants whose cases have not yet been determined to be legitimate) are being covered for prescription drugs. Canadian legal residents and citizens aer generally not covered unless they have supplementary private insurance, or are senior citizens, or are on socila assistance. Should this practice continue? If a refugee claimant is determined not to be legitimate, should he or she be responsible for repayment of those costs? What is your opinion?
