Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and thank you to the minister and the officials for returning to the committee.
Witnesses have noted differential actions from IRCC, and they noted that emergency measures will vary depending on where they come from. For example, with the special immigration measures for Ukrainians, they noted that it's much easier for them to come to Canada versus those in other regions who are also in need of getting to safety. They all said that they supported the special measures for Ukraine, but they're concerned that it's not being applied elsewhere.
All of the witnesses agreed that the government should extend those special immigration measures to other regions also experiencing conflict, such as Afghanistan, Yemen, Hong Kong, etc.
Will the minister do as the witnesses have suggested?
