I'm going to call the meeting to order.
This is meeting number 89 of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration, as we continue our briefing on resettlement issues related to Yazidi women and girls.
One of the issues that has come up in the settlement process of a small population with a non-widely disseminated language is providing interpretation, the difficulties and challenges of providing that, and we're actually seeing that this morning. We had testimony at our last meeting from community interpreters talking about finding interpreters who are professional or could be accredited in some way in a language that doesn't have that formal being.
We're going to begin with Professor Clifford, who does teach in the area of conference interpreting, but also has experience in the field of general interpreting and translation.
Professor Clifford, welcome. You have seven minutes.
