Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's $5.8 million.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, we would have to get back to you in terms of the number of families because I actually have the numbers for the survivors of Daesh by individual persons as opposed to the family groups.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There are 1,200, soon to be 1,298.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We could break out the numbers as well, in relation to the communities where these individuals have settled. There were primary sites that the refugees were destined to—Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, London—but I think there are 16 communities, all in, where people have been settled

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The news of getting the funding in the budget came out, obviously, on February 28. You never know when your things are going to get funded.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm not sure I understand that question. The advantage of increasing the number of spaces available for the privately sponsored refugees is that we can aggressively bring down the inventory of cases we have on hand so that we shorten the processing time.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The 18,000 is based on the cases that we have on hand and have already received, not just groups of five but also people sponsored by the sponsorship agreement holders, although the numbers of cases put in by groups of five has increased quite a lot.
