Afghanistan committee  Yes, definitely.

Afghanistan committee  Yes, it's a very important question. I think the single document to cross into Pakistan is the main focal point because, as far as documentation goes, we have provided all of the information that IRCC wanted. Now where we're stuck is moving families from Afghanistan into Pakistan.

Afghanistan committee  This is one of the great questions that we have answered, and we have told IRCC the same thing. As Afghans, as victims of the Soviet invasion, we feel for the Ukrainian people, but at the same time, our expectation from the Canadian government is that we are not some people who are coming from outside of Canada.

Afghanistan committee  Thank you. Indeed, it should have been. That's also what we requested from IRCC in the beginning as well, that these are some of the facilitations, some of the...including bringing people into Pakistan or another third country, as well as bringing people into Canada right away as they have done with Ukrainians.

Afghanistan committee  Thank you. No, the zero is out of the 5,000 spaces that are reserved for the foreign interpreters' families. Zero is the number of families who have made it to Canada so far, as well as people who received visas or anything like that.

Afghanistan committee  In some cases, there are also the spouses as well as the kids who are included, but IRCC asked us to keep it strictly to the siblings and the parents only.

Afghanistan committee  Okay. Sounds good. Thank you. We have four demands that I've listed here: One, issue all remaining UCI numbers within one month. Understandably, there may be exceptions. Two, provide clear time frames for this process. Three, provide a clear passage. Four, provide assistance for people travelling to Pakistan or if they are already in Pakistan, including hiring accommodations and financial support.

Afghanistan committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman and the respective members of the Special Committee on Afghanistan, for giving us the opportunity to come here to discuss the problems we have with the IRCC and the Government of Canada. I want to start with the fall of Kabul. The fall of Kabul was a devastating tragedy for all of us.
