I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our witnesses for providing their input today and for all the work they are doing in settling the new immigrants in this country.
My first question is for Ms. Chantal Desloges.
As we all know, sponsorship agreement holders can identify the refugees they want to sponsor, which is one way for those not prioritized by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and IRCC to be resettled in Canada.
What in your opinion is the right balance between the privately sponsored and the government-assisted refugees? What percentage of the total number of immigrants do you think is the right level for the refugees?
