Conservatives would match Liberal commitment to resettle at least 20,000 Afghans, Erin O’Toole says

OTTAWA — A Conservative government would match commitments by the Liberals to resettle not only Afghan citizens who worked alongside Canada forces, but also thousands more who fear for their lives as the Taliban retake control of their country, Erin O’Toole said Wednesday.

Just before the election campaign began, the Liberal government committed to resettling at least 20,000 Afghans as the Taliban appeared set to regain power after a bloody 20-year battle.
