Yes. I think we know, as Ms. Blyth mentioned, that housing is extremely important in terms of helping our people with severe mental illness. I was involved with the At Home/Chez Soi project, which really showed that providing housing, along with harm reduction approaches and mental health supports, is extremely important.
The alternate isolation accommodation in Manitoba, led by Sharon Kuropatwa, is really based on exactly that model. People who are being tested for COVID or who are COVID-positive and are homeless have difficulty being able to isolate, and we need to provide them appropriate supports. I think housing is a major issue. As Ms. Blyth said, that's the biggest challenge for our most vulnerable Canadians.
We could do a lot around virtual mental health care. I always say that in Winnipeg we don't spend a lot on PPE in mental health. If governments can support virtual care platforms, appropriate electronic health records and appropriate outcomes, we would save a lot of PPE and people would get care at home. Housing is extremely important in being able to support people in their own homes. Otherwise, they're going to be coming to the emergency rooms. They're going to have negative sequelae.
