Israel motion could make it harder to get Gazans out of conflict zone, Marc Miller says

OTTAWA — Immigration Minister Marc Miller said a motion passed by the Commons and criticized by Israel could make it more difficult to get Gazans fleeing the war into Canada.

Canada has had a program to allow Gazans seeking to leave the war to come on a temporary resident visa to Canada if they have family ties. The government introduced the program initially with a 1,000-person cap, but only 14 people have managed to take advantage of it because of restrictions on the Gaza-Egypt and Gaza-Israel borders.

Gee that’s awful!
