I have just one last question. Today I wrote a letter, along with all elected officials from my riding in the downtown area, calling for immediate government investment to really address this dire crisis.
As I said, we lost another life today. We had somebody freeze to death in a bus shelter. About two weeks ago, we had a woman who preferred to live in a bus shelter rather than go into a shelter, because conditions and the safety issues for women are quite intense in shelters.
Our letter is calling on the government to immediately invest. The government gave our specific riding $12.5 million. We're saying, clearly that is not enough.
Do you believe the $12.5 million that was granted in the rapid housing initiative is adequate, considering the level of crisis we're currently facing in Winnipeg?
