Vancouver MP Fights for immigrants with Disabilities

A naturalized Canadian citizen of Indian origin Kevin Patel, living in Vancouver, sponsored of his sponsored his parents and sister to come and live in Canada as permanent residents but the application was rejected because the government believed his believes his sister's (disabled)  condition could be a heavy burden to the Canadian health care system and taxpayers.

What do you think? Is it fair that the government deny people with disabilities for permanent residence in Canada solely because of the potential financial burdens they would cost taxpayers?

Do you think that family members should take out private insurance to cover the cost of individuals they sponsor with disabilities?
