I have a brief question and then I'll hand it off.
Thank you to all of you for your testimony. My question is for Mr. Cimbaljevic.
In 2011, former immigration minister Jason Kenney was involved with the launch of this rainbow refugee program, and I know international human rights was a passion of his—in particular, standing up for the rights of LGBT people facing persecution around the world. The model for this program is an interesting one because it uses blended sponsorship. Much of our refugee sponsorship comes in the form of either government sponsorship, where it's all government bringing people here, or private sponsorship, where it's a private organization and the government isn't engaged, outside of administration.
However, this is a program where you have the government coming to the table, reducing the fiscal burden on the private sponsor, but you also have that private sponsor involved, supporting the process of integration. In a way it makes it easier for the private sponsor to step up, but it also makes it easier....
I think it was an innovative model put forward in 2011. I'm curious for your thoughts on how well the blended sponsorship model works and if this is something we should be expanding to other areas.
