Thank you so much.
I'm going to stress again the partnership between Rainbow Railroad and the Government of Canada when it comes to government-assisted refugees, through which, today, Rainbow Railroad is able to resettle 250-plus LGTBQI+ persons per year, or we refer them to the Canadian government for resettlement.
The very first obstacle is that the needs are huge and the spots are very limited. One of the main requests or recommendations from Rainbow Railroad would be to add more spots so that we can resettle more people who are in need, especially while we are looking at a world where more and more queer people are facing crisis. That's the first one. The second one is more related to resources. Spots are one thing, but spots come with an investment from the Canadian government to be able to process those cases.
With the challenges, I want to speak about an opportunity. When we speak about this partnership between Rainbow Railroad and the Government of Canada, Rainbow Railroad is mainly the one who is doing the verification process and preparing the case for resettlement. In one way or another, there is an opportunity for the Government of Canada to capitalize on this, because civil society is taking the biggest part of the work of resettlement. If we push more cases and more people towards resettlement to Canada, this kind of partnership with civil society is really an opportunity to capitalize on it to be able to find the most at-risk people and expedite the processing time as well.
