Mr. Chair, that is fine.
The Province of Alberta has requested extra funding from the minister of immigration to help cover housing costs. When asked about this request in an interview in Calgary last week, the minister was characterized as being non-committal in stating, "I'm not saying no, but we've already put close to $700 million on the table."
How much of the $280 million included in these estimates will be dedicated to helping provincial governments cover the costs of housing Syrian refugees?
