No, I don't think so.
I think there has been significant investment in providing emergency accommodation for asylum seekers across the country over the last several years. I don't think that's always been done effectively or efficiently. Providing temporary housing is going to cost money. It could cost less money if we work with the existing partners that are executing, relatively cost-effectively, the same models they always have.
I think the investment needs to continue, but I don't think hotels are the answer. We're operating at $37 per day. There was a time when massive blocks of hotel rooms were rented out at, essentially, regular market costs. You're looking at $200 or $300 per night per room. The cost comparison is astronomical.
I'm not saying that we should completely remove resourcing from these communities that need it and from the non-profits and the municipalities that are providing the service, but I think we should get really smart about how we're going to spend our public dollars.
