I have a final comment. Obviously, a big thanks goes to the committee for all the efforts it is putting toward this issue and the awareness of it.
I also wanted to comment on Mr. Lessard's nice comments. We do have a lot of hope here in Edmonton. We are living in a city in the only province in Canada that has an effort to put a plan together to end homelessness in 10 years. The good work of Minister Fritz is huge, and obviously for Premier Stelmach this is an important issue.
Despite some of the economic challenges we may face, and whether or not the resources will necessarily be there at the end of the day to have the total impact we would like to have, we certainly recognize that there has been a fundamental shift in how homelessness is addressed in this province.
It is going to take a while to transition agencies to understand exactly what “housing first” actually means. It is going to take a while to ensure that the private sector comes on board with some unique projects in the future, but the team we have been able to formulate through the efforts of the commission and the political leadership and private sector leadership gives me confidence. That's why I have hope. I look forward to being able to report back to you with our executive director in the future about the kind of progress we are making.
Thank you.
