Mr. Chair, we haven't sort of looked internationally at other examples, but what we have done subsequently through the B.C. settlement and adaptation program, meeting with representatives from the provincial attorney general, employment and income, community services, economic development, children and families, education, the solicitor general, child and youth, and, from the federal government, Citizenship and Immigration, HRSDC, Service Canada, Canadian Heritage, Status of Women, and the City of Burnaby and the non-profit organizations, we met to see what we really need to do to address the needs of the refugees. Of all the issues that came up, the issue of the hub was identified as the best.
On November 28th, 2006. See this statement in context.
