Some witnesses previously stated that when they read the decisions from the missions' officials, some of the statements are almost borderline racist, which I found quite disturbing to hear.
I will read you comments from an official at the mission in Kiev, Ukraine, where a father was denied the opportunity to reunite with his wife here in Canada--a Canadian wife--and their four children. They had just had twin infant boys:
At such a young age, the best interests of the newborn twins is to remain with the mother, and it presumably makes little difference to them physically, emotionally, or developmentally whether this is in Ukraine or in Canada.
The official is denying the father the opportunity to come to Canada to be with his wife and four children. Instead, they are suggesting in their decision that the wife and four children move to Ukraine.
How would you view that sort of decision?
