Absolutely. Canada is a country of immigration. Quite often, we immediately think, “Okay, what's the immigration response to a particular crisis?” For us, it's often that we need life-saving assistance. We're not thinking immediately about resettlement.
We've been given a mandate by the UN General Assembly to be responsible for the protection of refugees and to work with countries to find a solution, either by returning them to the country they came from in safety and dignity or by finding them a home somewhere else. Resettlement is a precious and powerful tool. Canada's been a leader in that, as it's been more recently in other complementary pathways, as we call them, like private sponsorship and, even more recently, labour mobility.
We now estimate that among the 32 million people we define as refugees within the 122 million people who were forcibly displaced, about 2.9 million need resettlement. Those are the people with the most acute protection problems.
