Thank you.
It makes a huge difference. People are drawn to people and networks where they can feel like they connect, like they belong, and where there is integration and there are community supports. We know first-hand that those experiences and those opportunities make a huge, vast difference. We know that when people are in places where there aren't networks or there aren't supports, they're not going to be successful. They will return to other communities, where they may find larger networks or the perception of larger networks and access to jobs. That is critical. It's essential to have those community supports.
That was my point earlier. When we are looking at people across Canada, those communities, those regions, need to be set up in ways that provide those supports that are critical for successful integration.
