Mr. Speaker, Canada's response to the crisis in Syria has been completely embarrassing.
With millions of Syrian refugees displaced, Canada agreed to take in a mere 1,300. Now we are learning that in June the minister knew full well that there was no way Canada would meet this goal. The minister fudged the numbers, and reached all the way back to 2011 to make his numbers seem bigger and pretend that Canada was on track.
Why did the minister mislead Canadians?
