Madam Speaker, I rise today to present a petition from the undersigned citizens, concerned Canadians, calling on the House of Commons and the Government of Canada to establish an emergency initiative specifically tailored to address the Sudan crisis, akin to successful measures implemented for other global emergencies. This petition asks for facilitating the swift issuance of temporary work and residence permits to Sudanese refugees and asylum seekers based on compassionate grounds and, by formulating equitable policies that outline a clear and secure pathway to permanent residency and citizenship, promoting successful integration and long-term stability for Sudanese war-surviving individuals in Canada.
In the House of Commons on October 28th, 2024. See this statement in context.
