Mr. Speaker, in addition to cutting the HPS budget, the Conservatives have decided to cut funding for preventing and fighting homelessness.
As a result, the Centre d'hébergement d'urgence de Terrebonne, the HUTTE, in my riding, saw its funding reduced by $70,000, a decrease of nearly 20%. This will have serious consequences for health and crime prevention.
How does the government hope to deal with the homelessness problem in Canada by cutting assistance for communities?
