I would urge the minister to look at the housing advocate's report, which was just released. The CHRA commissioned Deloitte to do a report. It indicated that productivity gains in the development of social housing would actually yield a return back to Canada's economy to the tune of up to $136 billion. That's a good investment economically and socially. I look forward to the next budget, where the government will make good on those commitments and not just say empty words as we have so often seen.
Municipalities have called the crisis of gender-based violence an epidemic. Is your government planning to restore the $150 million in cuts to shelters? We know that the rates of violence have not decreased since the pandemic. They have actually gone up. This cut will cost lives. Are there any plans to ensure greater investment in shelter funding as a cost-saving measure for people fleeing violence?
