Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank our colleague for his testimony. It will be a privilege for us to go to Medicine Hat and to meet with stakeholders on the ground. I agree with him entirely as to the importance of decisions we have to make and the impact they may have. I also think it is important to listen to the stakeholders who obtain results in the field.
My question is for Mr. Murphy and is in the same vein.
In your opening statement you shared consultations that are now ongoing, with more to come. The community organizations in my riding that are fighting homelessness had the opportunity in early fall to meet the minister in Sainte-Julie, Quebec. I know that the reports from these consultations are not yet finalized, but can you tell us what came out of these consultations with these stakeholders who work on the ground? After all, they are the ones who deal with people day after day who are grappling with poverty and mental health issues. What was the outcome of these consultations with the stakeholders and those organizations who work on the front lines?
