Thank you very much for your questions.
There are several factors.
When it comes to the funding structure, it is important that it last longer than three years to ensure greater predictability, as you mentioned. That is very important. It is true that the volume of asylum claims sometimes rises and falls. We've seen that it has decreased in recent years, but we need a system in place to be ready to handle the volume of applications we receive.
As we say in English, failure to plan is planning to fail.
In 2024, for example, significant investments were made in housing, which raised hopes and encouraged planning for new projects. Provinces, organizations and municipalities all submitted proposals to secure funding for housing construction, and many of them didn't receive it. This means that the interest is there, that we have the necessary space and even the capacity to build housing, but that funding is lacking.
At the last minute, in the 2026 budget, we saw that funding was renewed, but at an even lower level. I think it's about $188 million a year for three years. But this requires much longer-term planning. We can't plan funding for just three years and then renew it for another three years at the last minute.
These are the frustrations I hear from mayors in Edmonton, cities in Quebec and even cities in Ontario. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has passed resolutions calling for longer-term and significantly higher funding. This is important so that we can establish temporary housing structures and reduce the pressure on them.
