We need a round table, a space for dialogue, or a forum in which provinces, municipalities and members of civil society can participate. It doesn't seem to exist. Perhaps a working group or something a bit special should be established to begin this dialogue. This is a key element.
The other absolutely key element concerns the federal government's commitment to funding temporary housing.
The interim housing assistance program was recently renewed. It's very positive, but it was renewed at a much lower level than what is needed. Again, it's only for three years.
This timeline isn't long enough to allow Manitoba or the Atlantic provinces to plan, so it's also a matter of funding.
