Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to all of the witnesses. Thank you for the incredibly thoughtful testimony you've given so far.
The riding I represent is Peterborough.
My husband is a paramedic. I've seen how his job has so drastically changed from when he started to now. During the election, I asked him what the most challenging thing about his job was when he's responding to calls about the people who are unhoused in the riding. They get to know them and they know their story because the situation happens frequently. They're picking up the same person over and over again. He said the hardest thing is knowing there's nothing else he can do except drop them off at the emergency department, and more often than not, they don't even go in. They just walk away.
Ms. Boileau, how is your municipality coordinating with housing providers, shelters, health services and indigenous partners to create a more integrated homelessness response system?
