Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
I'd like to thank the committee for allowing me to ask some questions. This isn't the committee I'm usually on, but I'm pleased to be here with you today.
In a constituency office, the work involved in handling immigration cases and asylum claims is quite demanding.
Ms. Sreenivasan, my first question is for you. You seem to have a very good understanding of community organizations.
For resettlement to be sustainable, it's not enough to simply move people from one province to another. They also need to have access, as you mentioned earlier, to services, housing, employment opportunities and community networks. You mentioned funding. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
You also mentioned predictability. You said there was an agreement lasting only three years. I'd like you to explain that in a bit more detail.
What factors do you think should be taken into account to promote the successful integration of asylum seekers in different regions of the country?
You also mentioned housing. Please note that I'm from Quebec, where asylum seekers have been a major issue for the past 10 years. I would also like you to discuss this further.
