Mr. Speaker, we stand in solidarity with the Afghan people, as we always have. We will be there to welcome the 40,000 Afghan nationals and refugees. As the hon. member knows very well, the challenge is that the Taliban has blocked access to the airport and the border, and so it is not safe for people to leave.
We will continue to work with our partners in the region and our international partners to welcome Afghan refugees, because Canadians want to do more. We will be there to help these Afghan families.
