I think I would try to respond to that, Mr. Chair, by saying that we think both programs--the program of government-assisted refugees that we receive referrals for from the UNHCR and the privately sponsored program--are important, and they meet somewhat different needs.
The UNHCR looks at the entire population and tries to prioritize resettlement based on agreed characteristics--for example, someone being a victim of torture or someone being a woman head of household. The privately sponsored program is one where people are largely identified through links to communities already in Canada. Of course, that certainly is very helpful when they arrive in terms of their settlement prospects.
We are increasing in the region the number of refugees, under both programs, who will be resettled.
