What you're describing—forced human displacement—is one of the greatest challenges facing the international community. One of the challenges exacerbating all of this has been not just the increased number of refugees but also the shortfall of solutions. Normally, because resettlement is so small, it doesn't get talked about in the same way we talk about things like voluntary repatriation, which is the most common solution for refugees.
The reality, and one of the drivers of this, is that refugees are forced to be refugees for longer and longer periods of time because no solution is being presented to them politically. This is where we really need the political leadership to solve these conflicts.
I would be really worried if we were to open up a discussion on the refugee convention. The refugee convention itself has been responsible for protecting the lives of millions of people, including millions of Canadians who came to Canada as refugees, so I wouldn't want to do it.
There are some important forums coming up in which the international community will be talking about some of these issues. The UN General Assembly on September 19 will have a summit on addressing large movements of refugees and migrants. Then there's the Leaders' Summit on Refugees, which the United States is hosting. I believe Canada is one of the co-hosts. Again, we'll be talking about different ways towards solutions.
But it certainly is one of the great challenges affecting the lives of millions of people.
