Opposition Conservatives: Randeep Sarai and Testimony Amounts

opposition conservatives: All the MPs on the Commons' immigration committee were visibly moved by testimony during hearings on vulnerable minorities that detailed the atrocities facing Yazidis in Iraq, according to Huffington Post Canada. The unusual summer hearings were called to find ways to help. That prompted opposition Conservatives and New Democrats to propose their own solutions while slamming the Liberals for their seeming unwillingness to assist one particular group desperate to escape genocide, the Yazidis. A migrant woman from the Yazidi community, and her children, sit on a boat after they were rescued, March 3. Randeep Sarai, one of the Liberal MPs on the committee, said the letter is the best that can be done right now. But the immediate response to the testimony amounts to a letter to the federal immigration minister that contains no recommendations other than a call to expedite applications from the Yazidis, a Kurdish minority group which practices an ancient faith.
