Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for joining us today. They are making a valuable contribution to our work. So I want to thank them for taking the time to come and meet with us.
Mr. Edström, I was mayor of Bromont for eight years. Bromont is a small town with 12,000 residents. I was very active in the RCM and, like my colleague, Ms. Larouche, from the neighbouring riding, I saw homelessness change over the years. It is quite troubling. In fact, I saw unhoused persons even in Bromont, a small town with a population of 12,000. Bromont isn't exactly big.
In your opinion, has the profile of unhoused persons changed over the years?
If so, what accounts for the change?
