Thank you, Minister. My goal is to keep people off the streets.

I just want to switch gears a little bit with a question around the 15-week attachment leave for adopted kinship and [Technical difficulties—Editor]. The 2019 mandate letter includes the introduction of a 15-week leave for adoptive parents, including LGBTQ2S families.

When will we see the introduction of this 15-week leave, and can you commit to ensuring that it will include kinship and customary care families?
