Thank you, honourable member.
It's difficult to tell exactly the number of Somali Canadians who are on the ground in Somalia today. What we know is that we have eight cabinet ministers. We have, I think, over 20 members of Parliament, including the Deputy Speaker of Parliament. We have countless numbers of business people from Canada, Somali Canadians doing great in Somalia. As you mentioned, there are NGOs and non-profit organizations. We have a large contingency. When you have 30% of the cabinet coming from one country, I think that tells us something, including me. We have them everywhere in the security sector and in the private sector, and, as I said, in the non-profits. They are everywhere.
It's natural, when you have these numbers of people, that they form a closer bond and they know each other, but sometimes it's difficult to know who is from Canada across the country. What we know is that we're making a huge contribution. We had two prime ministers, one who's actually from Ottawa, who served as Prime Minister of Somalia for the last few years. It doesn't happen anywhere else in the world that you have a prime minister who just graduated from Carleton University or Ottawa University and did a great job in Somalia. It is really something that's unique, and we need to build on that. We need to make sure, not only in Somalia but also in Canada, that people are aware of what's happening. We need your support in terms of advocating for a better Somalia and for a better narrative in Somalia. I think that will go a long way.
