Thank you for being here. It's always a pleasure to have you here and get some insight from you.
My riding of Surrey Centre probably has one of the highest concentrations of Syrian refugees in the recent settlement. I have close to 1,000 in my riding, and I often have them come into my office. The biggest concern and biggest stress they have is bigger than the stress of adjusting into Canada. It's that they know they have siblings and relatives still in different camps.
Can you let us know how your settlement of UNHCR-recognized refugees happens? Does the fact that they have family or siblings play into that? Is there a higher chance to get settled into Canada for those who already have siblings here? We did a study here before which showed that those who have family who join us have a higher chance of success in Canada and a higher success at integration. It's also the same, I think, for refugee families. Could you elaborate on how that plays into the process?
