Resolution number
2
Whereas
- Manitoba and British Columbia have recognized refugee claimants as legitimate recipients of settlement services;
- The CCR believes it is necessary to provide services to all newcomers to Canada, including refugee claimants;
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR urge that:
- Refugee claimants be included in any and all funding formulas as legitimate recipients of settlement services throughout Canada;
- Additional funds be made available for settlement agencies to provide appropriate levels of services to this client group;
- The provinces that receive fewer numbers of refugee claimants not be financially penalized by this reality.
