Yes, this is an important thing to understand. These numbers are not arbitrary. They reflect an increased number of people who are coming to Canada through different channels. One of the things I think is really helpful to keep in our minds is that, although there's a short-term cost when you want to increase settlement supports for people who come, the long-term return of having more people living in our communities, working in our communities and raising families in our communities is enormous.
The increases in spending that you'll see reflected in the main estimates are a direct result of the decisions we've taken to bring more people to Canada when it comes to the settlement categories. For something like the interim housing assistance program, that's the kind of thing we work on, for example, in partnership with provincial governments that may be required to take on additional expenses as more people enter their particular province.
These numbers that you've cited are a direct reflection of the fact that our ambition and need to have more people arrive in Canada continue to grow. From my perspective, the short-term cost of making sure that people are set up for success when they arrive is dwarfed by the long-term return the people provide after moving to and living in our communities.
