Mr. Speaker, three days ago, 500,000 people had fled the war in Ukraine. Now it is more than a million. I welcome the government's creation of the authorization for emergency travel, but more must be done, and faster. The minister calls it an authorization for emergency travel, but it is going to take two weeks to set up. After that, who knows how long it will take to process applications. Speedy is not exactly the IRCC's middle name. I have a simple question. With the number of people fleeing doubling every three days, how long will it take for these people to actually get to Canada?

Madam Speaker, given the urgency of the crisis in Ukraine right now and the invasion of that country, we are seeing unprecedented numbers of folks fleeing the country. Would the member agree that the humanitarian aid that is required to ensure folks get to safety is the top priority of Canada?
