I want to move on to settlement funding. The estimates reveal a $6 million cut to settlement funding. That's on top of cuts made in the last years. I want to give your government credit in this year for increases to settlement funding several years ago. I know that immigrant settlement service organizations appreciated those funds, although they all reported that they still operate with too few resources.
Minister, you have recently spoken about the disparity in income standards of immigrants versus established Canadians, and of course recognizing the importance of employment, language, housing, and settlement services to close that gap. How does removing funding to immigrant settlement services square with your stated concern to raise new Canadians' economic conditions?
