Thank you very much for your answer.
I'll move on to another topic.
I must admit that I was saddened and disappointed to find out that the $25 million previously allocated over two years to the community encampment response plan, or CERP, associated with the Canada-Quebec agreement on unsheltered homelessness and encampments, is not going to be renewed, as one of your colleagues on the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities confirmed for us last week.
We're experiencing an early winter and terrible cold spells. People are living in encampments. Municipalities, the Quebec government and everyone are taking action, yet we've learned that Ottawa is withdrawing its direct assistance for homelessness and encampments.
It's only $25 million. Why are you opting out?
