Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning to everyone and to you, madam. Right off the bat, I'm going to tell you that I am lucky to come from Quebec, where there is an umbrella act for an anti-poverty program. That umbrella act even came out of a citizens movement and created what's called the Collectif pour un Québec sans pauvreté. So citizens were consulted. Since that collective was established, we've been able to see the positive results that that act has produced in Quebec.
I too met with stakeholders in my community last week. Among other things, we talked at length about housing and cooperatives, which are being built less and less, but especially about the need to renovate very old cooperatives.
Ms. Markell, you were going to give us some examples of additional benefits from living in a cooperative, such as breaking the isolation of families and creating living environments. Can you tell us about that?
