Mr. Speaker, today is World Refugee Day. That is the sad reality of 43 million people around the world.
These people deserve our solidarity, but the Liberal government is moving in the opposite direction by proposing Trump-style militarization and border control. The Liberal rhetoric is dangerous.
The NDP is clear: Anyone who shows up at our border seeking safety must be taken in and heard with respect and compassion.
The Prime Minister was elected as the anti-Trump, so why is he copying Trump's worst ideas and attacking refugees' right to seek asylum?
