In 2021, many Canadians supported the idea of accelerating the processing of refugee claims from Uighurs and other Muslim minorities in China. Support was highest in the Atlantic provinces, where more than four in five Canadians supported fast-tracking.
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 authorities passed a motion calling China's treatment of its Uyghur minority a genocide.
