Mr. Speaker, we are talking about the worst humanitarian crisis the world has seen in decades, yet despite pleas from the United Nations, calls from Canadians, and warnings from groups like Amnesty International, and despite his own department telling him that Canada could do much more for many more Syrian refugees, the minister sits idly by and does nothing. This is unconscionable.
How can the minister justify his refusal to act when so many lives hang in the balance?
