Thank you. I'll be splitting some of my time with Mr. Virani.
Thank you all for being here.
We've heard a lot of testimony. I think everyone will agree that the issue of refugees is not going to diminish. If there's instability and conflict in war zones, in war-torn countries, we're going to have refugees, we're going to have people fleeing destruction.
You mentioned eradicating ISIS or Daesh. Everyone in this room would agree with you that that is one objective, but there would still be more militants going up in the ranks. There would still be another militia group. So security and stabilization of a country is imperative. I think the international community needs to work very hard on that. Daesh is not the end-all of militant groups that are causing destruction. There are many others in the world, including in El Salvador, Honduras, etc.
However, I want to talk a little about prioritization. This is why we have a second group or an institution that looks at the most vulnerable. They have a set structure to look at the most vulnerable. We've been talking in this committee about Christians, about Sunni Muslim, about Shia Muslims. No one's mentioned people who maybe aren't even practising a faith. They're very vulnerable people as well. I think that's something this committee needs to add in.
I have a question to ask Mr. Dyck and Ms. Dench. You mentioned the need in Africa. I wanted to touch on that. You mentioned that the refugees are left out there and politicized.
Can I begin with Ms. Dench, and can you elaborate on that?
