I thank the Minister. I will begin by talking about some of the supports that are in place as part of the Ukrainian response. One of the subheads the Minister talked about provides resettlement assistance. Will she expand on that a little? There is a list as long as my arm so maybe we will go through them one by one.
My second question is related and is about all of the supports we are putting in place, such as the education supports, and the learning we are having in terms of the Ukrainian response, which is, in many senses, unprecedented and had to be almost instant. Are we putting any structures in place to harvest learnings and are we looking at it now even to refine the process as we do it, because we had to have this kind of instantaneous response, and streamline it should we be faced with a similar situation in the future where we have a large number of people coming into the country?
