Hi. I will give Lynne a break and answer that one.
I work at a community health centre. We work with highly marginalized people. We've seen a concerning trend over the past year as inflation has increased, particularly where we've had senior citizens who have never had any challenges with income or food start trying to access our services. We're seeing significant affordability challenges across the spectrum, including with middle-income families being able to afford just the daily cost of living.
I think part of the reason we're trying to attempt to solve this for some of the most marginalized people is that the cost of serving those folks right now and the way we're serving those folks are burdening, really, the cost of the delivery of service. There are multiple levels of government that solve that problem, but there's only one taxpayer, and that taxpayer is not getting a good return on investment currently.
By proposing or doing the solutions that we are asking for, we're trying to not have emergency services and police—the most expensive and least effective services to address the problem—on the front line and are shifting to services that can make a difference for a lower cost and reduce the burden on the taxpayer, which then allows us to invest in services to help more middle-income folks, including on the affordability of housing.
