Mr. Speaker, on Refugee Rights Day, let us remember the courage of those who come to Canada to give their families peace and security.
Let us also remember Canada's humanitarian duties toward asylum seekers. Over the past few years, the Conservative government has made some disappointing decisions in that regard.
This year, the government promised to bring in 10,000 more Syrian refugees over the next three years. We will see if it can keep its own promises.
When we know that the government has only now reached its 2013 objectives of just 1,300 refugees two years later than promised, we have reason to be concerned.
On this Refugee Rights Day, the NDP urges the Conservative minister to present to us a credible plan to meet his promise to reach refugee targets.
