Iraqis as a whole are very adaptable people, and for the Christians in particular, their religion has an impact on them of making them even more adaptable. Integration into the society for Iraqis is not difficult at all. Of course there is some hardship. There is nothing easy in this life, but if there is a will, people will go for it.
If you look at the Iraqi immigrants who came to this country, all of them were able to assimilate very quickly into the society, integrate easily, whether they were Muslims or Christians. Of course, for the Christians it's easier, definitely. I wouldn't call it a Christian society but it's a Christian atmosphere. Let's call it an atmosphere. The atmosphere is there. When it's Christmas, they celebrate Christmas and they celebrate it together. When it's Easter, they celebrate it together. So there is an atmosphere for that, but it doesn't mean that Canada is a Christian country.
So assimilation will not be difficult. Even the churches are willing to play their part in helping these people. It's a humanitarian issue. It's not really that you want to bring somebody just for the sake of bringing somebody for a better life, for instance; it's a case of somebody whose life is in danger, somebody who is feeling his life is threatened.
