Thank you.
I'm stunned with such a great answer, short and succinct.
Right now we have the Yazidi genocide crisis. To me the issue is that genocide is happening, and there's urgent action needed by the international community of which Canada is part. That genocide is taking place, and it doesn't really matter whether it is because of religious beliefs, political beliefs, or for any other reason. The fact is that there has been identified genocide and that there are therefore victims of genocide. We need to take action.
It was suggested to us that we could actually move into immediate action with a special measure to bring in the victims. These are, for example, victims of rape, people who have been widowed, orphans, etc. Can we in Canada bring in a special measure to do that, in addition to our immigration levels, which are targeted on humanitarian and compassionate grounds at 2,800 to 3,600 people? Is that something we can act on now?
