Thank you. I appreciate that.
We know that we have refugee claimants. Their volumes go up and down, but we do have them, and there's an essential obligation on Canada. We have communities ready to receive them, and they have interim housing needs.
In the same way that we have shelters and homes built for other kinds of populations, having dedicated housing in key urban centres in Canada to provide transitional housing for claimants is a super smart and efficient use of resources. It is much more efficient than the emergency short-term housing that was done through hotels, for example. We're looking at about a third to a fifth of the cost to house people daily in an interim housing situation, so having those structures set up permanently so that cities can manage the flows is really wise.
