Thank you for the question. It's an excellent question.
In fact, the most affected neighbouring country, Pakistan, has the largest population of refugees anywhere. Some of that is very long-standing, but there was a significant surge after the fall of Kabul. The Government of Canada has been working closely with the Government of Pakistan to move forward with safe passage and transition to Canada for those who are invited through the programs that have been discussed by this committee, and also to provide support to stabilize the situation and allow the Government of Pakistan to provide for the humanitarian needs of that large community.
Of course, there are other neighbouring countries to which Afghan refugees have fled. We've worked very closely with the governments of Qatar—as the minister mentioned earlier—and the United Arab Emirates, and of course with partners, to do what we can to move forward in meeting our own tool kit and our own targets and relieve pressure while meeting, as my colleague mentioned, the necessary requirements of ensuring, for example, the biometric data, etc., that is required to facilitate.
