The fact remains, however, that there is a cost issue when it comes to providing integration services.
I'm trying to understand this idea of distributing asylum seekers equitably. If we move in this direction, I understand that services will need to be accessible throughout Canada's provinces. There is a particular issue regarding legal aid, but we must also ensure that these people are treated with dignity, and that housing is available for them. The formula needs to be discussed.
How do you view this idea of distributing asylum seekers equitably among the provinces? Are you open to this idea?
