Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to ask my questions in French.
I thank all of the witnesses for being here today.
Ms. Dureid, I would first like to congratulate you on your achievements. I'd like you to tell us more about the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. Countries do not sign on to that pact. They ratify it and make a voluntary commitment; there are 180 countries. Canada is one day away from ratifying it.
You focused on the importance of that pact, which made me even more of a believer. However, there are some members around this table from other political parties, particularly the Conservative Party, who are against that pact.
What are your views about that negative attitude toward the pact?
