Thank you very much.
I want to thank all of the witnesses today. Thank you so much for sharing your stories and representing your members so well.
There's no question that during the pandemic a lot was revealed about our health care system in Canada. Ms. Stewart, I remember reading the story you mentioned. It was in the Ottawa Citizen. There was a personal support worker.... In fact, I think there were a couple dozen. I think something like 25 personal support workers were in the shelter system in the evenings and at night and then going out to work in the day. There's really, without question, a huge problem in the system today.
I was hoping you could talk to us a bit about the minimum wage today and the cost of living. What is a suitable rate for women—mostly minority women—living in urban centres, taking care of our most vulnerable? What is a livable salary when it's broken down to a minimum wage?
