Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our guests tonight for being here for this very important study on urban, rural and indigenous housing.
It is a very important issue in my riding of London West, where the majority of people facing homelessness in my community are indigenous people. I'm speaking from the traditional territory of the Anishinabe, Attawandaron and the Chippewas of the Thames.
I want to ask about Reaching Home.
Ms. Goulding, I understand that the Reaching Home program is being used to help indigenous people living in urban areas. They're overrepresented in our emergency shelters, but do you get a sense that you really have a handle on the problem? A lot of people who are indigenous wouldn't actually go to shelters to seek support.
