Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to address what, to me, seems to be a bit of an elephant in the room. We had the conflict in Afghanistan in the last year, and it continues. In August, the government stated that it wanted to bring in 40,000 Afghans. So far, there have been about 8,500.That's eight months and a little over 1,000 a month. This, of course, is a racialized community in Afghanistan.
We've now had the conflict in Ukraine. You stated that we've brought in 10,000 white Ukrainians in the last three months. That's triple the rate of Afghanistan. Certainly Ukrainians deserve to come here—they need help—but so do the others.
Under your watch, it seems like you've set up a racialized system, a two-tiered system, where white Europeans come in faster than people from Afghanistan. How do you explain that?
