Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here. This is such an important study for us to be doing in this committee. I know we have colleagues here and Canadian Sudanese people in the audience who are listening. I know that many are watching online and are deeply concerned about their loved ones, their family members and their friends.
I guess my very first question is this. In talking about what Canada has done in addressing the failures of the humanitarian visa program for Sudan, so far, if I understand correctly, not a single individual has come through under that program. Not a single person has been able to come, in contrast with the 200,000-plus Ukrainians. I'm just wondering why. Where is the gap there? Could you speak to that at all?
