It's one and the same. Immigration in our neck of the woods is going very well: 100 new families have arrived. This is, nonetheless, something new in Saskatchewan: 100 new families settled there last year. The problem is that this leads to other difficulties and other priorities in terms of needs. Often, the immigrants are picked through a candidate selection program, but there are also refugees with challenges, and we then need to find solutions to those challenges if we want to ensure real integration. Here again, resources are needed to really help these people.
