Madam Speaker, there is so much to talk about in that question. I will talk about the Ukrainian people, and I would frame it a certain way.
Right now, we can imagine that the member opposite had a temporary permit to work in Canada and was worried about the fact that it was going to expire in, let us say, two months. The government is not very good at renewing permits. Anyone who has worked in the system knows this. Basically, the government is telling these people they can be here because they have a temporary permit, but they have to trust the government to get the permit renewed.
It does not happen in a timely manner. These people are living with stress. There needs to be a better solution than just throwing them into Canada to fend for themselves, without giving them the proper documentation. This is the problem with the government. There is a lack of ability to create a system that actually works for the people who are here and that benefits them, as well as all of Canada.
