Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Mason, at the beginning of the meeting you said that you would be able to give us detailed figures so that we could see where the different programs were. I would like to make a comment, which is not a question. We received additional notes following your appearance, in which there were tables and figures, but I must tell you that it was hard to understand. For Quebec, figures were given such as 160, 22, 169, 14, 79. As for the 30% threshold, it said "not applicable". In any case, I did not understand anything and I do not know where such data leads us. It could be more precise.
I am going to ask a question now about Canada's Homelessness Strategy, which is the Reaching Home program. It is a great program, and all the organizations are praising it. However, in reality, it is painful to see that we need such a program, which seeks to help the most vulnerable find safe and affordable housing, and which also seeks to reduce homelessness by 50%. In 2022, due to a post-pandemic phenomenon, there was an increase in homelessness, mental health problems, and so on.
The 2022 report of the Auditor General of Canada was quite critical of this program. There is an inability to really track whether the housing created under the program meets the needs. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation says it will implement the Auditor General's recommendations.
However, aside from those recommendations, where are the changes? How are you going to follow up concretely on the data collection? That seems to us to be of major importance.
