Tell your MP – Support for Ukraine’s displaced people!
Ukrainian displaced people NEED federal support.
In the four weeks since Russia launched an all-out assault on Ukraine, purposely targeting and murdering civilians, almost 4 million people have been forced to leave Ukraine. This is the gravest humanitarian crisis in Europe since WWII. According to the United Nations Refugees Agency, UNHCR, about 90 per cent of those who have been forced to flee Ukraine are women and children. As it stand today, the plan put forward by Minister Fraser and the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship falls far short of the requirements to meet their needs.
I ask for your public support for:
- Implement a departure and arrival plan, as most displaced people will not have the resources to travel to Canada;
- Provide federal financial support for a 90-day transitional/integration period for food and shelter, based on needs;
- Encourage provincial governments to recruit and sponsor displaced people from Ukraine
- Develop and implement a refugee stream for Ukrainian citizens displaced by Russia’s war.
