Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for being here.
It's been a lot of learning. I'm going to open up and hope that Mr. Thiessen has been able to resolve some of his technical issues.
Earl, thanks for being here and for sharing your success story. It's pretty remarkable to think about the fact that you were homeless yourself, and now you are the executive director of an organization that is providing innovative solutions to help people find recovery from addiction.
I've had the opportunity to get to know you and your organization, and I've toured your facilities. I'm just wondering if you could expand a little on your pre-treatment housing model. I think a lot of places around the world would benefit from this, particularly here in Canada. We aren't doing that very well. Can you give a bit of description there?
