Canada: support for fast-tracking Uyghurs refugee claims 2021

According to the Canadian government, since 2017, evidence and reports have continued to point to human rights violations committed by Chinese authorities against Uyghurs and other Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region, on the basis of their religion and ethnicity. In February 2021, the Canadian government passed a motion calling China's treatment of its Uyghur minority a genocide.
In terms of public opinion, many Canadians (69 percent) supported the idea of speeding up the processing of refugee claims for Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in China. Only 12 percent were completely against it.

Do you support fast-tracking the refugee claims of Uyghurs and other Muslims in China, due to human rights violations against the Uyghur Muslim minority?
