Citizenship and Immigration committee  Oh yes. As I was saying, we are calling upon states to expedite the processing so that people could also move faster and therefore could also be resettling in higher numbers. That would lead to the call for additional human resources to process this speed.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Actually, I must say that in my years of experience I have always seen the Canadian officers--

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, in the case of selection to Canada, you actually have interviews that are conducted by the Canadian immigration officers.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm urging Canada to take more.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I mean the states, the resettlement countries. We can only look to them and say these are the numbers, and of course 25,000—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think we have publicly said that 80,000 to 90,000 people are in need of resettlement, but we also take into account the capacity for processing, and given past practice, we feel that we could present in addition 25,000.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think we would like that to happen.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We would like Canada to do this, but we are looking at—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As I was saying, Canada has always responded to calls from UNHCR. In this case, again, we're talking about specific appeals that are made, to which Canada has positively responded.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Our needs are actually very, very big, I must say, and our needs are never fully met. So if we get more contributions, we'd be able to put them to use. As I said earlier, if we can help to sustain the situation in the region, then this will be best for the security of everyone concerned.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, I think security is of concern when it comes to any refugee situation. I think it is the prerogative of the states to undertake the necessary security measures in the processing and selection of the resettlement cases.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, we will not be looking at any particular groups. I think the basic approach would be to look at the vulnerability of the individual.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  This is why we are appealing for resettlement of larger numbers, because we feel there is a need for greater numbers to be removed from that environment. We must also remember that giving resettlement also helps, for some numbers of people, to preserve the asylum space in this region.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I think in terms of resettlement numbers, yes, that's basically what we are saying at the moment, that there are 80,000 to 90,000 people currently in need of resettlement. But of course the prerogative to resettle these people is that of the states. We can only look to the states and ask them.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, we will be submitting an additional 25,000 this year.
