Mr. Chair, I will continue on the same page.
I want to talk about Syrians. In chapter 3.35, you provide an assessment on refugees sponsored by the government and those sponsored privately, to put it that way, and I quote:
The Department determined that Syrian refugees in the privately sponsored category had more knowledge of English or French than did Syrian refugees in the government-assisted category (82 percent of the privately sponsored refugees knew some English or French on arrival, compared with 16 percent of the government-assisted refugees).
At first glance, I would say that this is understood in a certain way, since privately sponsored individuals have already been identified by private entities. Does that explain such a marked discrepancy? After all, privately sponsored refugees are four times more likely to be able to speak one of Canada's official languages.
