Thank you very much.
Thank you all for being here. It's great to see you again. Everyone is from the Waterloo region. Welcome to the citizenship and immigration committee. It feels like more of a power hour with Waterloo region here.
Waterloo region makes up 1.6% of Canada's population, but we've been resettling 4.6% of the Syrian refugees. That's a great big task, and I know it's been taken on greatly in our region, and with all your efforts, we've done a tremendous job.
Mr. Seiling and Mr. Murray, what are the conditions that make a welcoming community like Waterloo region willing and able to resettle Syrian refugees?
