Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned, Canada will welcome Ukrainians fleeing Putin's war. We have announced this new program that will cut through red tape and expedite the arrival of Ukrainians to safe harbour for up to three years. This is the fastest, safest and most efficient way for Ukrainians to come to Canada. It eliminates most of the travel requirements for all Ukrainian nationals, with the exception of background security checks. Canada stands with Ukrainians in their time of need, and we welcome them with open arms.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. During the pandemic, the most vulnerable members of our community were in greater need of housing. We know we need to act fast. Our government created nine new affordable housing units in the member's riding for women and children fleeing violence. We will not stop working until every Canadian has a safe, affordable place to live.
