Resolution number
2
Whereas
- The federal government has allocated additional dollars for settlement in various provinces over a three year period;
- This money has not been spent on settlement services in some provinces;
- The need to spend significant amounts of settlement funds in a short time period will not facilitate the most effective use of such dollars;
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR:
- Request these dollars be used in all provinces for the purposes for which they were released, i.e. settlement services;
- Contact the Minister of Immigration to urge her to request that Treasury Board regulations be relaxed to allow the settlement funds allocated for 1997/98 fiscal year as a surplus to be spent on 1998/99 fiscal year.
