Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the government announced measures to expedite the processing of Ukrainian refugees. That responds in part to the Bloc Québécois's demands, but there is an elephant in the room. The most important element is missing, and that would be the planes. Even though the announcements addressed the 60,000 applications in one fell swoop, the refugees will be quickly disappointed when they see that they are vying for the same handful of spots on flights from Poland to Canada for a minimum of $1,000. What families need is not to be approved by Canada but to get to Canada. When will an airlift be put in place?
