Thank you very much. I really appreciate your being in front of this committee, and of course, welcome.
Mr. Dolin, we have enjoyed very much having your son in front of us as well, as always. I remember the first time we met back here quite a few years ago. There you were presenting and your son was sitting here as our very able researcher. It is always good to see you.
The Iraqi situation is a real disaster. I agree with you. It is worse than the former Yugoslavia, but the cleansing is the same.
I had a staff member for quite a few years, and he left me, as I couldn't pay enough. But when we were going through the crisis and they were hunting for Chemical Ali, they didn't get Chemical Ali, but they wiped out nine members of his family who were in a bunker; these were bunker-buster bombs.
I agree totally with your presentation, and I hope we can underline the urgency in the report we do.
The question I have is this. We have gone through a situation where this committee pushed hard and finally we're getting the leftover Vietnamese refugees, who are coming into the country from the Philippines. They were stuck there. What I am wondering about is to what extent can the Iraqi community be involved in sponsorship, or get other groups to be involved in sponsorship, to be able to increase the numbers to show there is support out there. When we did the Vietnamese boat people, a lot of folks across Canada came in as sponsors. I'm just wondering if you could address that.
