Minister, I can report that my constituents in Scarborough Centre were pleased when the government, earlier this year, met its goal of bringing 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada. We are all proud of that fact.
I have met several families who have settled in Scarborough and in my riding. The outpouring of support in the community for these families has been very heartwarming. People have welcomed them with open hearts and open arms. Could you describe the ongoing budgetary needs to support the Syrian refugee program, particularly with regard to ensuring adequate funding for the settlement agencies?
