Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
It's always a bit sad for us Canadian citizens, who have lived without the problems you've had in your country, to hear that. We are well aware that we must make an effort to help you.
However, according to the statistics, Canada received only 190 refugee claims from Iraq in 2006. I don't think that's a lot. Is that because there aren't a lot of Iraqi refugees who would like to come to Canada? Would there be more claims if it were possible to take in more?
