Thank you to all the witnesses and I want to really thank you, Nadre Atto, for sharing your experience. I think it would be safe for me to say that everyone here, their hearts bleed when we hear your stories.
I grew up in a culture where I heard stories of genocide to my community multiple times. On hearing about the Yazidis and finding out that your community has gone through it over 70 times, it is amazing to see that you survived, but it was through your persistence and your will. I want to commend you and your whole community for that.
Our job here is to make sure that you feel safe, that your journey here is as easy as possible, and to make it as comfortable and safe as possible. In that regard, I want to ask you, do you feel safe and comfortable in Canada?
