Thank you.

Indeed, the work you're doing needs to be commended, and I know how difficult it is for you to even come up with those figures.

You said you're looking at 25,000 refugees to be settled in 16 countries. Is this the number you have chosen, or is this the number you are working with because you know those countries will only take those numbers?
