Thank you.
Our recommendations are as follows.
In addition to our expertise in the field, we support the position of our Quebec coalition, the Table de concertation des organismes au service des personnes réfugiées et immigrantes. According to this position, any distribution of asylum seekers among the provinces must be carried out with a view to respecting the fundamental rights of asylum seekers, ensuring access to adequate legal services, involving community organizations in the distribution strategy, and eliminating barriers to integration and inclusion, particularly regarding language learning, employability, and access to social support programs, as well as funding tailored to the realities and needs of community organizations on the ground that support these individuals.
In fact, we strongly advocate for an approach focused on prevention, coordination and collaboration among the various actors and stakeholders. In our view, such an approach not only facilitates a smoother transition for individuals but also recognizes the social contribution of each of them.
