I always look at this from the perspective of what Canada's gifts are, and for those who are probably more conservative, I would say to look at our civil society and the enormous wealth it has in welcoming people and how we can generate that spirit among Canadians.
If I look at our own faith-based community of 200-plus churches, 75% of them want to support refugees. We don't even have enough spaces. By September they are completely filled up. They support people to get on their feet, to get jobs, to start businesses. Look at the economic development that is going to contribute. To put barriers that limit the growth of Canada, this place where we have a huge amount of space.... All you have to do is fly from one part of the country to another and, compared to the U.S., look at the resources we have. It's just enormous.
To look at it from an asset-based point of view and to generate how we can multiply those assets, to me, is the key. That is what this whole compact will do. Think about how we settle refugees really well.
