Thank you very much for this question.
I think the focus was given to the Yezidis. I described how they were treated in a different way. There were more damages. They suffered a lot. The Christians who fled to Erbil, Duhok, and Slemani were welcomed by the church agencies. It was the church's establishment that was incapable with their capacity to accommodate all of the needs, but it was quite different. I think the focus was given to the Yezidis.
We already met with some officials. They told us that the Canadian government made a contract with the Red Cross and we asked “Why the holy cross?”, because these international agencies spend 30% of the amounts they receive on administrative expenses. We heard confirmation that “No, we made an agreement with them that we reduced the 30% to 10%, and we think it is reasonable”. Then we heard that “Oh, 50% will go to the Red Cross and 50% will go through agencies that we will approve of, so who do you suggest?” We suggested some agencies like CNEWA because at least it's a Canadian registered agency that is reputable and credible. We suggested Caritas Canada and we suggested Development and Peace.
These agencies work so closely with the people, with the displaced, that we're going to be able to show that this donation, this support, is coming from the Canadian government. Our people never heard about something that came from the Canadian government.
I don't know. We are caught in this situation.
