It's really important for people to understand that this is not the motivation in any way, shape or form.
With respect to the numbers, there are now approximately 9,400 Afghan refugees who have landed in Canada. I had an opportunity to meet with a number of our new neighbours who live in Alberta during a recent visit.
The situation in Ukraine allows and demands a different response. With respect to Afghanistan, these are people, to use your language, whom we are bringing here. These are people who are benefiting from the full suite of settlement supports. We are doing it through a traditional refugee resettlement process.
With respect to Ukraine, we've made it easier for people to come. We're looking at what appropriate supports may look like. We're looking at how we can facilitate people's entry into Canada. The 10,000 who've come have come from the beginning of the year and have largely come here under their own devices. It has more to do with their ability to leave Ukraine, as compared with those who don't have that ability to leave Afghanistan, than it does a decision by the federal government to be more kind to one group of people than another.
