I want to thank all of the witnesses for their very compelling testimony, and very thoughtful testimony. I think we as committee members learned a lot.
You shared a lot of information and I can't imagine, Nadia, you having to continue to tell your story and having to relive it each and every day when you tell it and share that story. I have to say it is so tremendous what you're doing because you're educating the world to try to make a difference for your people. I thank you for that.
I want to focus on solutions. What can we do as a country here in Canada and with the international community? How can we change the course of what's happening today? Even if we can save one life, it's worth it. That would be to pay tribute to you and your people, and your experiences, and to that of others who have gone through genocide. The Jewish community comes to mind, and Mr. Berson and his community's experience, and that means a lot to all of us. Yesterday I was in discussion with some of the committee members about the work that we do, and perhaps this might be one of the most important moments of the work that we do here at this committee.
Mr. Murad Ismael, you mentioned that you are working on a program with the Australian government. You talk about quota. In your testimony you talk about a quota of 5,000 minimum in bringing Yazidis over here to Canada. Our current immigration level for the humanitarian compassionate category is at 2,800 to 3,600 people. There are limitations with respect to that. The first thing then is to call on the government to increase the numbers so that we can in fact absorb at least to a degree the people who are faced with genocide at the moment from your community. Is that correct?
