Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the minister and his extraordinary team.
Mr. Minister, Canada is experiencing an increase in the number of asylum seekers, which has put considerable pressure on Canada's housing system. As winter approaches, the needs become more and more urgent.
Less than two weeks ago, our government announced additional funding for the Region of Peel to open a new welcome centre that will temporarily house asylum seekers.
Can you tell us more about the benefits of this funding, the reaction of stakeholders and how it can help meet the needs of these people?
