I just wanted to make sure.

I'd like to ask Mr. Ricard a question.

You said, in your case study on Haiti, that the department had indicated that thanks to special measures that were passed, Canada had taken in, as of April 1, 2010, over 2,100 Haitians, more than 200 of which were children. That means that between January 12, when disaster struck, and April 1, Canada had welcomed 2,100 Haitians.

Is that actually what you found? Are these applications Canada received and assessed pursuant to the special measures?

See context to find out what was said next.
