Yes, I recently read a letter from the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. We actually met yesterday evening. We were told that other measures, in addition to the previously announced $250 million fund, would be put in place. So there's a plan.
It's very ambitious on our part to request something by August 31, but we think this is urgent. It's really a matter of life or death for people living in encampments. I also had to set a deadline in order to exercise my oversight role. We chose August 31 because that's when the municipalities start talking about what will happen to people in the encampments over the winter. We don't want people to die or to have a hand, arm or foot amputated as a result of frostbite.
This is really an urgent matter. It's not just a shelter issue. It's really a housing problem, and real solutions have to be found.
