CONSIDERING the urgent need of refugees for international protection which requires an immediate response by the Government of Québec;

CONSIDERING the continuing degradation of the political and humanitarian situation in many areas of the world, in particular in the Middle East;

CONSIDERING the capability of the Government of Québec to promptly mobilize the resources required to welcome new refugees;

CONSIDERING the deterioration of the refugees' situation during the long processing delays;

CONSIDERING the extraordinary sponsoring capability demonstrated by the population of Québec;

CONSIDERING the important contribution of the collective sponsorship program in welcoming and supporting refugees;

  • work jointly with the Government of Canada toward better allocation of the human and financial resources required to process the sponsorship applications in a reasonable delay.
