I want to be clear that when I'm speaking about women's homelessness, I'm speaking about single women—not violence against women—86% of whom have children but not access to them. Housing would provide a chance for family reunification. So be clear about that. We need a living wage, and the Government of Canada needs to address the issue of precarious employment by making sure that it supports a living wage with appropriate increases for costs of living. Finally, we need housing with support so that women and men and trans people and LGBTQ people can sing for their lives.
