Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Nsabiyumva, thank you for the quality of your presentation, and for your efforts to raise the committee's awareness, and Canadian citizens' awareness, of this issue.

I'd like to mention a fact. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, some 1,400 Burundians have permanent resident status, and had access, in 2015-2016, to settlement services—that is to say, occupational or language training.

Could you tell us whether there are other services Burundians need when they arrive in Canada?
