Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, they do.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  They do. I mean, when we resettled the 23,000 Iraqis, we created pockets of Yazidi diaspora in Canada in those four main communities that I mentioned: Toronto, Calgary, Winnipeg, and London. We have kind of a core of Yazidis already present from that previous resettlement movemen

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's a complex operating environment due to safety concerns for everyone. It's not that complicated to get people out. It's been a bit more complicated now that the international flight situation has been stopped out of northern Iraq, so we've been finding ways to work around tha

Citizenship and Immigration committee  For the Yazidis who are part of the resettlement, both government-assisted and privately sponsored refugees, so far it's actually 650.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  On the government-sponsored, there has been 590. I think you mentioned 573. We got 17 more out just recently. Amongst those Yazidis, 55% are women and girls. Also, 79% are women and children, because we've discovered in interviews that boys have been quite significantly impacted

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have numbers for the 807, which includes all the survivors.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Budget 2017 set out $27.7 million. We later did an evaluation of the amount of money we thought we would actually need and refined our costing, so we've asked for $21.7 million. I think about two-thirds of that is related to ongoing income support, interim federal health, and the

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would answer that in terms of saying that we worked with the regional government of Kurdistan and also the Iraqi government over a targeted program of 1,200, similar to what Germany had done. The goal was to identify the most vulnerable, those who either could not reintegrate b

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Chair, thank you for the opportunity to appear before your committee to discuss this important topic and to update the committee on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada's work on resettling survivors of Daesh to Canada. I am joined today by Corinne Prince, director g

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's getting into the policy discussion angle again, but if there were to be such a discussion, and recommendations or decisions were made, we would need to be amending the regulations. Our wait times are only in relation to mortality and morbidity. A mental health issue and a
