Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentleman. Well. we would not be stopping here. if the gentleman is suggesting these are the only two countries with EVD. There are. as we know. other countries that have this status. Ethiopia. Poland. et cetera. These are also two countries where we have already a large number of refugees from those countries. This bill is not meant to be an invitation to new people to come. As a matter of fact. it has got a cutoff date. No new people will be eligible. So I would say to the gentleman. where there are large numbers of people already here who are in this situation. if the gentleman is suggesting that logic compels us to now open an invitation to Sri Lanka and to India and to other countries.
