Respectfully, Minister, would you agree that even though your department should have been prepared and were briefed in January 2021 that Kabul was going to fall, they didn't take any action? We hear this repeatedly from the Afghanistan committee, that they were not prepared.
We're seeing the same kind of thing now, and we're not seeing any kind of urgency for those Afghans who are supposed to come here.
I'll just give another quick example, of the Sikh, Hindu and Hazara communities, which are still stuck wherever they are with no hope in sight. The WSO, the World Sikh Organization of Canada, and the Manmeet Singh Bhullar Foundation have been working for years to get those people here. Now they see absolutely no hope, because it looks like you've completely abandoned those Afghan refugees.
I sponsored a family in 2015, and it took four years to bring that family here. What do you say to those organizations who see no hope anymore?
