Respectfully, Minister, I think that also ties back into the fact that Canada was not prepared, and, on top of that, an unnecessary election was called, and that totally threw everything off.
One of the generals yesterday made a very interesting statement: “Stop sending emails. Be transparent with the Afghan applicants and start talking to them person to person. Great Britain, the United States, France and Ukraine sent people into Kabul to grab people out of the country. Canada sent an email.”
It's true, because I hear this in my office all the time. When will these auto replies and no responses stop? When can we show some real transparency to these refugees who are so desperate to get out?
