Citizenship and Immigration committee  Certainly the IOM, I believe, has been identified, because they handle internally displaced people, as opposed to UNHCR. They've been identified as a credible partner. If or whether a partnership should be established, it's really for IRCC to determine.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Our presence there is very recent, as I explained, so they're in the process of developing those networks at the moment. The Canadians we have on the ground arrived just a few weeks ago.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's the part of my statement I didn't have time to deliver. The answer is the only security assessment that has been conducted so far was in Erbil for the establishment of our diplomatic presence there. There has been no security analysis from GAC outside of that area.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would just say the announcement of the initiative has generated some interest and questions in northern Iraq. I would say that referring any questions to the IRCC, which has the latest on these people, is probably the most useful thing to make sure the information that is circulating is correct.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  A formal agreement we would have to look into, but certainly we need to be consulting with local authorities: Iraqi, KRG, governorates at all levels, and Yazidi leaders. Whether it should take the form of a specific written agreement is something that hasn't been discussed yet.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It's the same response. The measures we will put in place will depend on IRCC's plan.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Again, I think it's a question for IRCC to address. They are the experts when it comes to resettlement processes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. Absolutely, and we're there to support, but in terms of the selection processes themselves, there are various ways of going about it. I certainly cannot speak to that. I don't know if others are able to.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  At the moment, the one area we've identified that includes a significant Yazidi population and that would be safer is Dohuk.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I have described the resources we have already on the ground. Those resources are fully mobilized, both in Erbil and in Baghdad.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We've had internal consultations with IRCC, but I would not be able to comment on numbers. I think it's probably for IRCC to provide the numbers, but they have consulted us on these issues, yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  At the moment we're not specifically partnering on this resettlement program, but we're definitely consulting not just with local government but also Yazidi leaders. We're not necessarily part of government. The partnerships, I believe, would have to be established by our IRCC colleagues in the context of the program.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I believe my IRCC colleagues mentioned in previous hearings that a two-phase plan was under discussion, which includes a first phase outside Iraq and a second phase inside Iraq.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Section 25?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm sorry; just to be clear, there have been specific numbers discussed with IRCC, but I would prefer them to disclose those numbers, because it is their prerogative.
