First of all, I think it would be the available funds. Much like Mr. Champagne said, the Brome—Missisquoi riding is a region that is not a designated community for these funds.
However, as I was saying, the issue of homelessness has grown significantly since the pandemic, which has created new needs. For example, in Cowansville and Farnham, winter warming centres have been set up. Mr. Champagne could speak to this; there has also been a project for a day centre and temporary housing. These are initiatives that have emerged in recent times. To achieve this, the community has mobilized.
We must therefore take into account the fact that more and more rural communities, so to speak, are experiencing homelessness and that the community is not always prepared to deal with it. Furthermore, new initiatives must be created to meet these needs. Obviously, the community must adapt to all of this. Organizations must also adapt to this new reality, because we are committed to helping these people effectively.
