Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the members of the committee and the witnesses. I would also like to extend a special thank you to Ms. Kelly for coming to the committee to offer her support.
Thank you, Ms. Kelly.
I would also like to thank Mr. Thiessen for sharing his experiences with us. I have a question for him. It is a simple one.
In your view, Mr. Thiessen, which actions or measures have had the greatest….
Please excuse me. You have no doubt realized this already this morning. It infuriates me that homelessness is being politicized. It is not normal.
I would also like to apologize to the committee for the exchange I had with the witnesses this morning, because we cannot seek to gain political advantage at the expense of people in vulnerable situations.
I'm sorry. I got a bit carried away by my emotions. I've never experienced homelessness myself, but I know people who have, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and women who sleep with people they don't want to because they just want somewhere to sleep—because it's cold outside.
So, I think I'll hand over my speaking time to Ms. Desrochers, who deals with these issues. Please excuse me.
I can't go on.
Thank you.
