Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I want to thank everybody for taking the time to join us. Obviously, this is a group of people who care a lot about the rights of vulnerable people in Canada. I appreciate your taking the time.
One observation I would make is that we do have 25 to 30 standing committees in the House of Commons that deal domestically with the exact things that all of you are talking about. Hopefully you take the opportunity to reach out to members on those committees and weigh in on whatever topic they're discussing at any point in time. There will be an opportunity for a rights-based conversation to be part of that broader discussion.
Ms. Malischewski, I'm going to go to you first.
As some know—and maybe you don't—I have a son with autism, and I do a lot of work. He's 29 years old. We're looking at housing challenges around this, and we're having many conversations around housing. You brought up institutionalization. When we get into that conversation, it's very complicated. People have different ideas of what that looks like and different ideas of where we ought to go. In many cases, families are really looking for help. We've seen families who couldn't find resources anywhere or options anywhere other than dropping their loved one off at a hospital in some cases or at a seniors centre in some cases because there's nowhere else to turn.
Can you expand a little more on institutionalization, what your organization sees as wrong—for clarity—and what a good housing environment or option might look like for people with disabilities in Canada?
