This is a tragic sign of Canada’s retreat from leadership on an humanitarian an human rights approach to refugee policy.
"Behind the numbers slashed from the humanitarian component of the levels today are over 14,000 real people fleeing persecution and seeking safety in Canada or struggling in conflict zones around the world facing violence, starvation, and death. It particularly fails those already here whom we have committed to protect and their family members abroad. It is not an exaggeration to say that the action taken today will rob children of their futures and destroy families. People will lose their lives."
