Actually, I'm going to try to do the impossible. Since we have three minutes, I'm going to take one and try to give my colleague a question.
I want to thank all the witnesses for an extraordinary testimony. I'm glad we used the majority of the meeting for it.
Refugee and immigration issues take up most of the work in my constituency office. I've heard this time and time again, so I was glad I heard it again today from a legal advocate in the field—there is an unprecedented number of situations in which people seeking refuge are interviewed by people who in some ways resemble those who were persecuting them. I'd like to find a way of investigating this more, if it is happening consistently in our consular offices.
Mr. Silva alluded to this and I want make it known to our witnesses. We would welcome any specific recommendations that witnesses would like to submit to the committee.
I've heard two kinds of suggestions. Some have suggested a broader refugee policy to get those who are persecuted out of Iraq; others have said they would like us to make sure there are not dwindling numbers, as this would make those left behind less secure. At some point in the future, I'd like to hear a written submission on this.
