Family asks court to order Canada to repatriate orphan from ISIS camp “I am pleased that this Canadian child orphaned in Syria will soon be united with extended family in Canada,” Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said Monday.“Global Affairs Canada has been actively engaged in this case since first learning of the child’s exceptional circumstances.
The focus is now on protecting the child’s privacy and ensuring that the child receives the support and care needed to begin a new life here in Canada.”He thanked the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces “for their valuable support during this process.”The case marks an about face for the Liberal government, which had previously refused to repatriate any.
