Trudeau government not doing enough to help bring Afghans interpreters- Erin O'Toole

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole is accusing the Trudeau government of not doing enough to help bring Afghans who helped Canadian soldiers and embassy staff to Canada.

The email address where interpreters and others were told to send their application forms under an urgent Canadian resettlement plan crashed yesterday.

A government spokesman says the issue was immediately resolved and that the mailbox remains active and operational.

Andrew Rusk of the group Not Left Behind says the incident added to the pandemonium for more than 600 families whose lives are on the line as the Taliban seizes more and more territory.

He says Canada needs to stop putting up barriers to getting them to safety.
