Sorry G&M, the Federal government does bear responsibility for the slow adaptation of some of our refugees.

Here in metro Vancouver transition from overcrowded motels took months, and for some six months, due to a lack of housing. The Feds should have been aware of the dire housing scenario here, including a vacancy rate under 1%.

Many refugees are still waiting for language instruction due to long waitlists. The Feds would have known that as funding was cut the previous year.

A shortage of daycare means that parental participation in language instruction is further hampered. No secret that waitlists for daycare begin when a child is born.
