Thank you, Mr. chair. Do I have an hour? There are so many things that I want to talk about.
I would like to continue on the same topic since it is very relevant. I have a question for each one of you but the first one is for Mr. Duplessis and is on the issue of shelters.
Yesterday, we met with the director of a shelter in Nova Scotia and I was telling him that we have similar shelters in Quebec. I am a Quebec MP. One of the major problems we have with those shelters is that it is very hard to ensure some follow-up when people leave a shelter.
I have two questions for you. You seemed to say that existing programs relating to homelessness as well as grants for partnership initiatives were only aimed at the physical infrastructure, at housing.
Can you give us more information about this? Did you mean that this does not really meet all your needs?
You would also need funding for human resources and for providing some professional follow-up to the people you deal with, I suppose?
