Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm really glad that we are here today to hear your testimony. I am also pleased to see that my colleagues, including the ones opposite, agree that action must be taken and efforts made in this area. It may be necessary to invest in housing. We must really take action today, not sit on our laurels just by studying the issue. We must take action; that's what I'm hearing.
Ms. Sullivan, I'm very pleased that our committee is having you appear today. As a member of Parliament for the Ottawa region, I would like to thank you and congratulate you for the remarkable work you do for the community. I would also like to point out that you work with people who have specific needs, whether they are francophones, anglophones, first nations, Métis, Inuit or immigrants. You have the opportunity to respond to these needs.
As we know, you receive funding from the provincial level because a significant portion of your services are offered province-wide. However, if the federal government could do something, what two priorities would you suggest we choose here, in committee?
