Done. If i could just maybe correct a couple facts here. First of all, none of our nato allies, not all of them are involved in the coalition, but none are opposed to it. They are all supportive of our mission against the Islamic State. The United Nations is not opposed. In fact, this intervention is happening at invitation of the government of iraq under international law. In terms of refugees, canadas response has been generous and responsible. Weve admitted so far 15 of all the world refugees from the region. In terms of our response to this recent crisis, even before it was in the headlines, i announced our intention to accept additional refugees. I have since announced a number of changes to our system to expedite that number, and were doing so while at the same time making sure that we choose the refugees, that we choose those who are genuine refugees, the most vulnerable people, and also maintain all standards of security and other screening. This is a generous and responsible a
[ speaking french ] [ speaking french ] weve already announced more, already are doing more. But this isnt just a game of trying to up the numbers. Were trying to do things responsibly. Ive visited refugee camps in syria, in northern iraq. Ive visited with families we have accepted from these regions. I have met with leaders from those communities, not just in canada, but in the region itself. And i can certainly tell you, from my visits to the refugee camps in jordan and debriefings there, we cant pretend there are no security risks. Its important that we do screening. Those countries in the world that responded to these headlines as these others would have by just opening the doors and doing no checking have rapidly regretted that, and are now trying to put in place the very kind of system that canada has been pursuing all along. Its a generous response, its a responsible response. It is not based on the headlines. It is based on the right thing to do. [ applause ] [ speaking french
And russias involvement. This is 20 minutes. [ speaking in a Foreign Language ] translator president of the 70th session of the General Assembly, i would like to congratulate you on your election as president of the General Assembly at its current session. And wish you success in leading the work of this session. I would also like to thank your predecessor for his presidency of the previous session. Ladies and gentlemen, i greet you from this Great International edifice that was originally established with all its agencies in order for peace and security to prevail in the world. I greet you as i come from a country where security has been disrupted and peace has departed. A country that lives a fierce war for more than four years. I greet you from a land baptized by the blood of its people who fight terrorism and defend their fellow citizens against terrorism. While waiting for this International Organization to fulfill its promises and implement its resolutions related to combatting t

To put forward, so, i commend the u. S. Senate proappropriatio committee providing some assistance in that regard. I want to just invite david to ask, to address whether the, whether we can wait another 30 or 40 or 50 years to take action and expect not to have consequences. Thank you for the question. Not acting increases the cost of action. The longer we delay in action will increase the cost of action. Because we will have infrastructure lock in and other dynamics that will make it increasingly difficult to in fact shift to low carbon xwhis. We have the opportunity and i think we in fact are on the trajectory as lisa and others have said, we are on the trajectory of moving very rapidly toward that low carbon economy. The price of solar panels for example has fallen 75 in the last five years. And we can create hundreds of thousands of jobs in doing so . And we are in fact creating, there are 100,000 jobs in texas alone. Thank you. I want to welcome sam adams, who works with the World
