Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions are for Minister Robertson.
Thank you for being here and for giving us your time.
I represent the riding of Newmarket—Aurora. In Newmarket, particularly, we have a homelessness problem. I have to ask you about this $97,000 spend. I cannot find a way to justify this to the people in my riding who see our neighbours on the streets, struggling to find a home, shelter and food. I can't walk up to them and say, “I know you're homeless, but it's okay, because the minister spent $97,000 to learn about it.”
How do you suggest I justify that to the people in my riding?
