Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here with us today.
I'll start with you, Mr. Rousseau and Ms. Favreau. Thank you. As the member for Longueuil—Charles-LeMoyne, the other riding in Longueuil, with the Jacques‑Cartier Bridge—I'm very familiar with the work you do.
You touched briefly on prevention and the importance of having not only housing, but also all the necessary support services. After I was elected in 2015, at one of the first meetings I had with the Table itinérance Rive-Sud, I asked why there was homelessness on the south shore. I said that couldn't be true, that everyone was doing fine. They told me about the programs and explained the problem of the lack of an ecosystem. So, if someone has an addiction or mental health issue and things aren't going well with their family, we can give them a place to live, but they won't have any guidance or support.
Can you give us your advice on how to support people experiencing homelessness? It's not just a matter of finding affordable housing. There needs to be a whole system around that. Can you share your advice with us?
