Well, thank you very much.
My office, in particular, was very personally touched by what was happening in Iraq. I actually found out from reading the paper that nine people with the same name as one of my long-time employees were killed in a bombing, when Chemical Ali was being chased with bunker buster bombs. Instead of his being killed, his aunt, cousins, and their children were killed. We certainly heard a lot about it in my office, in terms of what was going on.
I know this is a difficult plea that you're making, and I want to thank all of you because your presentations were excellent. Given the fact that we have so many Iraqis in Canada already, sponsorship should be a simple matter.
I'm going to now give every member of committee up to five minutes, if they want, and make sure everybody gets to ask a question.
I will start off with Mr. Jimmy Karygiannis, who was particularly strong on making sure that we studied this issue.
Mr. Karygiannis.
