Citizenship and Immigration committee  We identify survivors of ISIS. I understand that was the motion of this Parliament, and that was the co-operation we had with both the Canadian government and the Iraqi authorities, to identify survivors of ISIS—of Daesh—that needed to be relocated to a third country such as Germany or Canada because of their extreme vulnerability.

Jean-Nicolas Beuze

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We are making maximum efforts to provide the support in the camp and in the host communities. Again, it's all a question of the amount of funding we are receiving.

Jean-Nicolas Beuze

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you very much for this question, because it allows me to go back to the global resettlement criteria, which are at the core of our program. We are looking at whether the person has the capacity and the ability and is receiving the services to survive in the first country of asylum, or in his or her own country when we're talking about internally displaced people.

Jean-Nicolas Beuze

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In all our operations, we disseminate information on where people can complain. They can complain online. We have a complaint box in the camps, in the health centre, community centre, registration centre. We have text messaging and video, which are disseminated throughout the refugee and displaced community, so that people are empowered.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No. Let me point out here something that all honourable members of the committee know. Whether you are a rape victim as part of a genocide or a rape victim as part of any other conflict, you are a rape victim. If that person needs to be resettled because—I am sorry to be a bit descriptive here—they have a fistula that cannot be treated in eastern DRC, it's not that, because she's not part of a genocide, we will not prioritize this victim to come to Canada or another country to be treated.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  UNHCR does not make that kind of qualification. It would be another part of the UN. The Security Council can make that kind of assessment. To some extent, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights can make that kind of assessment, in particular, through the special procedures of the Human Rights Council, but UNHCR does not qualify the types of atrocities that people are subjected to.

November 7th, 2017Committee meeting

Jean-Nicolas Beuze

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I would just make a clarification. We do not maintain statistics because we are not involved with the settlement services. This is very much done by civil society, the federal and provincial authorities. But we are aware of a number of studies undertaken by those partners but also by academics, which show that, indeed, the integration of resettled refugees in Canada is exemplary.

Jean-Nicolas Beuze

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Children born out of wedlock to women who have been held captive by Daesh are particularly at risk of reprisal from their own families, unfortunately, and from their own communities because of the so-called shame that has been brought upon the family from having a female member of the family raped.

November 7th, 2017Committee meeting

Jean-Nicolas Beuze

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, we are very grateful that Canada and Germany have offered this possibility. Let's keep in mind that those situations are constantly evolving. People are being released from captivity. People who were afraid of coming to the service provider with a specific story or specific needs, after a certain period of time may come out and request additional assistance.
