Madam Speaker, I rise today in the House of Commons to speak on behalf of the Sudanese community in Calgary, which is encouraging the government to process more quickly the applications of several Sudanese who want to come to Canada as a result of the conflict that is happening in central Africa. It is imperative that we process these as quickly as possible, particularly for those Canadians and permanent residents who have family in South Sudan and Sudan. These are people who are in refugee camps and we need to make sure they have access to a fair life here in Canada and are processed as quickly as possible.
In the House of Commons on September 27th, 2023. See this statement in context.
