Immigration Minister John McCallum told the House Monday that the Liberals would support a motion from Conservative MP Michelle Rempel to take “immediate action” to provide asylum for persecuted Yazidi women and girls, after reaching a compromise on the language in the motion.
Ms. Rempel won broad-based support for her motion the day before a planned press conference with Nadia Murad, a Yazidi woman, international advocate for displaced Yazidis, and a survivor of kidnapping and enslavement in Iraq at the hands of ISIS, the militant group also known as Daesh, ISIL, and the Islamic State.
We should call this the Trudeau Refugee Lifeboat Protocol. Now that we have all the able-bodied young males safe and sound, maybe we can start thinking about Ladies and children.
