Madam Speaker, Passport Canada’s narrow definition of “need” for expediting a passport is very troublesome. If people have an upcoming ticket to Disney World, they can get an expedited passport. If they are pleading to expedite their passport so they can fly to say goodbye to their dying parent or go to Europe to help their scared, elderly mother escape from Ukraine, that is not really an urgent need according to Passport Canada. If the minister cannot be competent, can she at least try to be compassionate?
