Human Resources committee  The housing doesn't need to be centralized in downtown Vancouver and the eastside. One of the problems that's happening now is that it's just being used as a dumping ground for everyone who has a problem, more or less. That's where they're dumping them. It should be in their own communities.

Human Resources committee  We don't disagree; I agree on that.

Human Resources committee  I don't think reducing taxes has much effect on people who are earning low incomes, low wages, or on those who don't have any income at all. Reducing taxes really doesn't help them. If you don't have the money to begin with, reducing taxes isn't going to make any difference, because there's no money to tax.

Human Resources committee  Thank you. On behalf of the board of directors, staff, and members of the Ray-Cam Co-operative Community Centre, I would like to thank the committee for giving me the opportunity to raise our concerns with you. I will begin by giving you some background on the Ray-Cam Centre and the community we serve.
