Thank you. That's where I was going to begin.
I think the consideration needs to be that there's a lot more complexity to the issue than just picking numbers and putting them across the map of Canada. Different funding levels go to different provinces and different cities. I think larger cities have a better ability to adapt to these sorts of large influxes than smaller ones.
I also think you need to look at what I spoke to today, which was the immediate ability for a municipality to accept numbers of these based on what they're going through. In another season, this might not be an issue in Saskatoon, but in this season, it is.
We could do a lot of good work here. I just question whether this is the work we should do, or if we should actually fix the problem. We can spend years and millions of dollars throwing money at how to accommodate people who are here for years waiting for a decision. Why don't we just not leave them here for years awaiting a decision? Take all those resources and actually fix the problem, rather than finding ways to accommodate this problem and move it around.
Your demographic...and wanting to spread it around is absolutely a factor that needs to be considered, sir. I just don't think it's the only factor.
