Citizenship and Immigration committee  That is simply the reality.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't think there's a plan to do a formal evaluation at this time. It's a fairly small program. A formal evaluation might cost more than the dollar value of the program. What we're looking at over the coming year, given the decision to renew the funding to the program, is to ta

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That's an extremely interesting question. We have some pilots out there in all government departments that have been going on for many, many years. The numbers we settled on in the program are very modest but very important. The partnerships that have been developed by the Rain

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We have a large number of programs that have responded to a large number of individual circumstances over the years, and I think many of them have worked very well.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Gionet will correct me if I err. The project was not prescriptive in how the refugees would be identified. As it has played out, about half or more of the refugees have actually come in through our blended visa office-referred program, where members of the LGBTQ community i

Citizenship and Immigration committee  This program does not have a numerical target attached to it. The individuals come in through either our blended visa office-referred program, or the private sponsorship program.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, we have all that data. It's from all over the world. Probably it would be most efficient if we provided that table to the committee. We have the origin countries and the destination communities in Canada of all those who have participated.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I don't think a “ranking of vulnerability” is, generally speaking, a term that the international community would use. There are seven identified specific vulnerabilities. How they end up weighted against each other is very much case by case, and I think that's probably the way it

Citizenship and Immigration committee  If we're interviewing a refugee who has fled the civil war in Syria for whatever reason, at the interview should we be asking the person, “Oh, and by the way, are you a member of community A or community B? What's your religion? Are you LGBTQI?” That's the—

May 3rd, 2017Committee meeting

David Manicom

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, I think it's a very good question, and there is a distinction between globally and permanently collecting data on individuals under a number of these characteristics and collecting program data. For example, because of our program codes, we do know how many refugees the Rain
