Regarding the CERP, that is, the community encampment response plans, I had a meeting this morning on this topic, and the figures have still not been confirmed to date. La Halte du coin helped with a project involving trailers under the metro during the winter. Over the winter, at that location alone, aside from La Halte, we welcomed 12,000 people to a community café.
We're already concerned about what we'll do if the funding doesn't come through or if we don't have the same amounts confirmed for next year. Will we be able to help on the same scale this year, even just for the winter?
All these people have returned to the waterfront to live in tents. If you pass through Longueuil, you'll be able to see them. As Mr. Rousseau said, the more we put them in encampments, the more socially disconnected they become. It then becomes difficult to bring them back with us, into society.
