Certainly. When a person enters irregularly though Roxham Road, they are given a document acknowledging that they've made their claim for asylum. They are able to start to seek access to certain services. But let's not pretend that this reality is without challenges. There are very real challenges for our provincial partners in Quebec, in this instance, and for municipal partners. That's why we've actually developed programs to cover the cost of health care and to contribute to the cost of housing. We've set up facilities through leasing arrangements with temporary accommodations on site, and we continue to work with communities at a provincial and municipal level to ensure that the capacity of their shelter system, for example, is not overrun.
We need to make sure that we continue to treat people with compassion to uphold our reputation as a welcoming and compassionate country in the world, but also to make sure that we don't have the costs of this very real-world challenge simply downloaded onto provincial and local levels of government. These are not easy challenges to sort through, but it's our responsibility as a government to meet the domestic and international legal obligations that we have, which include to treat people with respect and compassion and to provide a fair and fast final resolution of asylum claims that are made when a person comes to Canada and seeks to remain on the basis of persecution that they may be fleeing.
