Mr. Speaker, the situation in Afghanistan remains heartbreaking to this day. Afghan women and interpreters helped our country for years and they have been targeted by the Taliban since it took over in Afghanistan over a year ago. It goes without saying that it is our duty to help them get to safety. Can the Prime Minister inform this House on the progress that has been made so far toward this government's commitment to resettle at least 40,000 Afghan refugees by the end of next year?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Guelph for his tireless work and advocacy for his constituents. I am pleased to say that today we will be welcoming two more planes with Afghan nationals fleeing the Taliban regime. With those arrivals, we have now resettled over 23,000 Afghans. We are excited for those arriving today to begin their new lives here. We will continue our work until we have resettled at least 40,000 Afghans.
