Many refugees come from parts of the world where women have no rights, but are expected to bear one child after another. In those nations where men appropriate all rights to themselves and assign no status to women, births are not registered by date because women are 'hidden'.  Many refugees from the Middle East come from a society where women are 'invisible', but they bear many children. We know there were birthing tents in refugee camps, and many women arrived in Canada pregnant. A year later, many are pregnant again, resuming their 'function', BUT in Canada, the Child Benefit is about $500/month per child under age 18.  One family arrived with 10 children and the 11th was born within days. $500 x 11 = $5,500 PER MONTH in tax dollars paid by working people. Yet, we have complaints about birthdates on driver's licences, resident cards ...? If only they knew their birthdates. It cost $56-million in tax dollars to bring these people to Canada. Any gratitude?
