Mr. Speaker, I want to thank our hon. colleague for his comments and his participation in this discussion today.
I am the father of three incredible, beautiful girls. Time and again, we have heard the stories of the rape, murder, and enslavement of Yazidi women and girls. During his speech, the member said that things have changed, that because of the government's actions, things have changed. The facts of the matter are this. There are still women and girls being taken, enslaved, raped, tortured, and murdered. I implore my hon. colleague. Is he not a father?
Let us put politics aside and put ourselves in that place. It is unbelievable. Can the member not see that Canada must be doing something right now?
If we could bring 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada in that short time, surely we can do something to get these women and young girls out of such a terrible situation.
