Our position is that the current system is putting pressure on many cities and communities. However, the real problem is that there isn't enough investment in infrastructure or services. In some places, language classes are being cut, there is no support for child care, or there isn't enough investment in temporary housing. So there are gaps across the country in terms of infrastructure and services.
If we rebuild this infrastructure and create successful models, asylum seekers will have far more choice when it comes to finding a community where they can find employment and support, including legal aid, to move forward with their lives.
In my view, if services and infrastructure are improved, distribution will be better. We don't start by asking how to ensure better distribution. It's not that we oppose it; we're just saying that there are many more options if services are more comprehensive.
I hope that's clear.
