Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank you for giving the witnesses a chance to complete their thoughts, as you did with Mr. Sundberg in his opening statement where he completed his recommendations, and just now you gave the chance to another witness to complete her thoughts. Thanks for that even-handed approach to the witnesses.
With respect, I'd like to start with the UNHCR witnesses, either one of you. You can both reply if you like.
Are you familiar with the spring economic statement and budget 2025, where our government made a commitment around providing permanent status to 115,000 protected persons in Canada? Are you familiar with this? Okay. There is some misinformation about what these measures mean when it comes to the federal government's commitment to provide permanent status to 115,000 protected persons.
Can you speak to that so that there is a clear understanding for all who are watching today?
