Good morning. It's a pleasure for me to be in Moose Jaw, in the beautiful riding of my friend Dave Batters. This is the first time in my life that I've been here, and it may be the last. I come from the province of Quebec, where we also hear about Iraqi refugees. However, I see this issue affects your region to a greater degree.
I'm aware of the problems you raise concerning those we take in as refugees. Improvements have to be made to this system. You're experiencing these problems at first-hand. I wonder what you think about the intervention by the developed countries in Iraq, led by the Americans. Those people have been there for five years. Earlier my Liberal colleague mentioned the fact that we created this situation. Billions of dollars have been spent in that country in the past five years to introduce democracy and improve the population's living conditions. Do you think that many refugees who left that country because of tough conditions want to return to it?
When you are born in a country, you feel comfortable there. You really have to be forced to leave it and become a refugee in another country. Based on the information you have, would you say that the situation will ultimately be restored and that a certain quality of life will be re-established?
