Yes, that's absolutely true.
As far as Afghanistan is concerned, promises have been made to support these people in exile, but it's not enough. They have not only helped their country, but they've also worked with Canada on democracy and human rights initiatives. Too little has been done, that's for sure.
We're talking about women in politics, but Ms. Pelletier‑Marcotte and I see that our Oxfam colleagues in Afghanistan are putting themselves at very high risk, and they have no access to the programs Canada has set up. Some are still trapped in Afghanistan, while others have crossed the border and are in Pakistan but don't yet have Canada's support to ensure their safety.
