Mr. Speaker, countless people in Ukraine are fleeing from ongoing Russian aggression. This is a major refugee crisis. Over one million people have fled Ukraine. Canada can be a safe haven. History demands that we act, and act now. Fast track visas are simply not enough. On what date will the visa requirement be lifted?

Mr. Speaker, Canada has been home to a Ukrainian community for decades. In fact, we have some Ukrainians right here in the House. The United Nations estimates that a million Ukrainians have already fled to neighbouring countries to escape the atrocities of war. Can the government show some empathy and flexibility, as we have been calling for since January 27, and immediately allow Ukrainians to come to Canada without a visa?

Mr. Speaker, Maria, a single mom in my riding, has struggled for years to obtain a visitor's visa for her son, but IRCC told her that he is not a priority. There are many Canadians like Maria being told that seeing their family again is not a priority. They are left to suffer from IRCC's long delays and backlogs. Could the minister tell us when they plan on clearing the backlog so that families can reunite in Canada?
