Mr. Speaker, the bring Widlene home campaign has captured the hearts and attention of people from all across Canada.
Still, today the Earle family live in danger, despite numerous empty promises to help from the Prime Minister. Now they are being told that the only way that the Prime Minister will help them is if they obtain an adoption order from Haiti, which would require them leaving Widlene in a state-run orphanage for up to three years. The Minister of Immigration has everything he needs to grant a temporary resident permit and bring Widlene to safety.
As we approach Christmas, I am asking the Prime Minister to give this family some hope and commit to helping bring Widlene home.
