Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
During question period on immigration, Jenny Kwan of the NDP asked the immigration minister to evacuate 130 Palestinian students from Gaza who have university acceptances and scholarships, similar to actions taken by France, Ireland, Belgium and Germany, and grant them emergency travel documents. She said the promised fast processing of their visas had not happened and called on the Prime Minister to remove the minister. Liberal minister Lena Metlege Diab replied that over 1,400 people from Gaza have arrived in Canada and that she has directed her department to speed up study permit decisions for Palestinian students who were able to leave, while applications continue to be processed under safety requirements.Written by AI from the debate.
