I'm a Liberal, and I'm a fairly left-wing Liberal, as my colleague Mr. Simms will tell you. I believe government has a very important role to play, but I also think that in the absence of government's ability—whether that judgment is right or wrong—or in the absence of someone else doing it, it's very important that there be people out there willing to do it, that there be people who are willing to step into the breach to find ways of addressing these problems.
I lived in Toronto for many years. I lived, actually, in the riding next to yours, in Parkdale—High Park, so I'm familiar with some of the problems you see, particularly in the southern part of your riding. While you and I may think it's important that there be government programs to help address this, those aren't happening tomorrow, and even if you and I could have our wishes fulfilled, that still would not solve all the problems. There's always going to be a gap that we need to make sure the philanthropic and the charitable sector is healthy enough to fill.
