Citizenship and Immigration committee  Migrant health has become a major activity for IOM. We do about 400,000 medical assessments per year—not only for Canada, of course, but also for the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and many other refugee resettlement countries. I don't think we've had major probl

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I will come back to you on that, because I think I owe you an answer on the 2015 audit. I'm not familiar with it.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I honestly have no fault to find with the Canadian policy. I have come here, as I said, primarily to express appreciation to the government at all levels, both here and in Parliament, and yesterday with the various ministries, because I think you are a role model in a world that

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Well, I'm not dodging your question; I just don't have the answer. However, I will get you an answer in writing and send it to you.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Canada has provided IOM $300 million U.S. between 2013 and 2017. You've been extremely generous to us. You've enabled us to work throughout the world. In fact, I think I have a handout I can give you that has the specifics, including all of the projects that Canada has supported.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Well, we're always seeking more support for our projects. You've just given us nearly $2 million for the Rohingya in southeastern Bangladesh.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. In my meeting yesterday with the four deputy ministers and their staff, I told them that as a general proposition, it would help IOM if we got more multi-year un-earmarked funding, or softly earmarked funding, because we have very little flexibility. All of our money, 97%, is

Citizenship and Immigration committee  When you speak of “giving us money”, it's money that's tied to projects that you wish IOM to implement for you, and that's the analysis. I can give you of all the projects we've done.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There is a 7% markup that we use, yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think it's a good suggestion, if they wish to do that. I would see no problem with it at all.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It would save your government money too.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  When I arrived on the scene in 2008, we did a structural review reform, and we restructured it because we had things that were called regional offices that had absolutely no capacity and were actually competing with the countries they were supposed to be supporting. We reviewed

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Well, let's take Syria as a case. Many Syrians are already returning home. We have to very careful. Some of the Nordic countries were asking me in the last year or two to resettle Somalis into the Mogadishu area. I said, “I can't do it.” They said, “But they say they want to go h

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That is a good question again. Thank you very much. In September 2013, IOM was asked by a cabinet decision in Dhaka to take charge of the 190,000 Rohingya who were already in the country. We did that dutifully. We looked after them until August 25 of last year, when the military

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't have in my mind what.... We are, I think, one of the most transparent agencies in the UN system. We have a budget reform committee that meets regularly. It's continued for the last three or four years. I've always operated on the principle that you own the organization—I
