First of all, let me say thank you for your commitment on this issue. We have talked about this before, and I appreciate the good will in wanting to approach this in a non-partisan way. I do support this. We've had this discussion in the past.
I was recently in Calgary. We have a huge homelessness issue with people coming to look for work only to find that they can't find a place to live. We have all kinds of challenges. I would recommend that the committee take this up in a serious way and look at the big picture.
You've been working on an employability study. I think it's appropriate to take some of the conclusions and build on that. Frankly, I think you should look at the role of markets in helping to alleviate poverty. Obviously we also have to look at ways in which government can help directly and do more than we're doing. I think those are all laudable ideas. I think we should look at other jurisdictions. Why make the same mistakes others have made when there's already a pathway provided by the experience of other jurisdictions?
