Parliament Video: Jenny in Question Period: "Humanitarian leaders don't shut their border to asylum seekers during a refugee crisis"

Humanitarian leaders don't shut their borders to asylum seekers in the midst of a refugee crisis. Lives are at risk.
That's why, on April 9, 2019, I rose in Question Period to ask once again: Will the Prime Minister do the right thing and suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement?
