My next question is for Madam Goulding.
I had an opportunity last week to speak with a constituent in my riding, Al Wiebe, who has lived experience with homelessness, regarding the membership of the newly appointed national housing council. He was greatly disappointed with the fact that the council did not include one single person with lived experience of homelessness.
As you know, the work of the national housing council is critical in implementing the national housing strategy. It's also essential that those who have first-hand experience with the impacts of homelessness guide the work. In fact, this was noted in the National Housing Strategy Act, which encourages including people with lived experience.
I'm wondering if your department is open to reconsidering selection, to ensure that people who have experienced homelessness are also included on the council.
