Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm very pleased to be here this morning. Thanks to you folks for being here as well.
Mr. Field, I was very pleased to hear you mention the idea of a framework for the community hub concept, because that's exactly what I'm hoping this study will lead to: the creation of a framework so that we can take the case study of the Amherst armoury and roll it out across the country to provide more buildings, housing and services for veterans. Thank you for highlighting that.
I have a feeling I'm going to address most of my questions to Ms. Lowther this morning.
You've talked about your experiences relating to veterans who are unhoused and require services. How does being unhoused impact a veteran? Is it different from the general public?
