We are part of the same region, namely the Eastern Townships. I can confirm that there is one designated community, Sherbrooke, but the surrounding areas, including Granby, are not recognized as designated communities and are therefore unable to receive their share of funding. Yet we regularly hear about rising homelessness in Granby.
We have discussed the criteria, and the minister has spoken about what will happen with the Reaching Home program after 2028.
I imagine you are recommending that the definition of “designated communities” be broadened so that we can ensure everyone in the region can benefit from projects such as those you carry out on a daily basis.
What are your thoughts on this?
