Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have been engaged with the federal government. Yesterday the deputy minister met with the deputy ministers from across Canada who are responsible for immigration, and conversations have begun. We also have the forum of ministers responsible for immigration. That is an ongoing group, and these discussions are being had in that forum as well. And based on those discussions, we will be taking next steps. But I know the federal government has created -- has made changes to the immigration program specifically for Ukraine. There's a Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel which expedites the process. It removes some of the Visa requirements. It adjusts the vaccination requirements based on some of the comments made by the Member. And there's a special rep family reunification stream as well that I believe they're also looking to expand. Then they have a dedicated I guess contact for anyone from the Ukraine looking to immigrate. So we are working with the federal government but we haven't -- we don't have a role yet to take in immigrants or refugees from the Ukraine. Thank you.
