Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for their presentations.
You're absolutely correct, in the sense that when Canada undertook the Syrian refugee initiative, we waived the refugee determination requirements. However, that is not being done in this instance. In fact, any of the refugee sponsorships from the group of five process also would not get the waiver of the refugee determination process. From that perspective, it means that people would not be able to get out within the 40,000 that the government wants to resettle.
I hear that this is your number one priority for the government to undertake. Why do you think the government is not proceeding with it?
I actually don't understand it. I've talked to the minister, it feels like a million times, raising this issue, but they're refusing to acknowledge this and move forward. Do you have any speculation as to why that is?
