Thank you very much.
Thank you, by the way, to each and every witness who has testified.
My first question goes to the Canadian Federation of University Women. Your brief does focus on newcomers who arrive as refugees. I have an interest in immigration in general, but particularly in refugees. Your brief talks about integration, which is very welcome. All too often we've seen in this country and other democracies the idea emerge that refugees are some kind of burden. In fact, I think quite the opposite is the case.
I looked at your brief and it doesn't go on in this way, but it certainly implies strongly that there is an opportunity here. Refugees offer something to society, something positive. Since we are examining economic issues here, I wonder if you could put on the record your view and your organization's view on how refugees actually pose a positive for societies looking to grow, in particular communities that are small and have population concerns and/or communities that are experiencing labour shortages.
