Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister. I want to reiterate the sentiments shared by other members of this committee to thank you for the inspired leadership and the unparalleled energy you've shown since being appointed to your ministry.
I also want to thank you for once again having made yourself available to this committee. Canadians from coast to coast to coast know how incredibly demanding your schedule has been, so I'm grateful for that as well.
I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to address another program that is funded in the supplementary estimates, namely the transfer of funds to Global Affairs to be used for staff located at postings abroad. I was wondering to what extent that funding is associated with efforts to resettle the 25,000 Syrian refugees.
