Mr. Speaker, the main question was about the cap on the number of people.
There is no 1,000-person cap on privately sponsored refugees.
The 1,000-person cap the member mentioned in her question refers to new sponsorship applications for Syrian and Iraqi refugees by specific groups of sponsors.
This specific cap on new applications is not to be confused with the number of privately sponsored refugees that Canada will welcome this year, which is currently set at 16,000.
This year, our goal once again is to welcome 25,000 refugees, one of the highest numbers in the history of Canada.
It has been a long-standing Canadian tradition to help the world's most vulnerable. It is a tradition we have maintained, and we will continue to do so.
