Mr. Speaker, the people the member refers to had full due process under what can argued to be the best refugee determination system in the world. They have also received a humanitarian and compassionate review from my department as well.
There was also the possibility of trying to facilitate in response to the family, rather than going back to Russia perhaps for a facilitation into Israel.
It is absolutely unfair for this member, given the statements that have come from that side of the House with respect to immigrants and the role they can play in society, to suggest that Canada has been unfair to them.
