Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for coming to our committee.
In terms of the federal government's support for provinces and municipalities across the country, as we are dealing with the homelessness crisis, provinces are struggling to ensure that people get into a safe environment. In British Columbia, our provincial government has undertaken to lease some empty hotels and motels to put the homeless population in those rooms. The long-term plan, of course, would be that we need to house these individuals permanently. Will the federal government contribute to the capital cost of these purchases with the provincial government?
