Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his question and, in particular, for his co-operation on the Ukraine file. We are prioritizing applications from Ukrainians. Since January, over 10,000 Ukrainians have arrived in Canada. Last week, I announced new measures that will make it easier and faster for Ukrainians to safely come to Canada. I will continue to work with my colleagues to facilitate the entry of as many Ukrainians as possible to Canada.

Mr. Speaker, Canada has welcomed nearly 10,000 Ukrainians since January. We are working with our partners, including the provinces and territories, the business community, the Ukrainian Canadian community and settlement agencies. This is the best way to support people arriving from Ukraine. We are going to continue to work with partners to arrange the best way for people to get here as quickly as possible, regardless of what it takes. I am very proud of the measures we have put forward. I am going to continue to work to get as many people here as quickly as possible.
