Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I think the committee knows well that I was involved in this at the beginning of the pandemic when I was doing my regular call around to social service agencies and the police. They all reported a spike in calls for assistance at the beginning of the pandemic.
Ms. Silverstone, you may be best placed to talk about this. There seems to be a presumption that this spike would have gone away with the decline of pandemic restrictions. I want to know what your organization has found. Has this spike disappeared, or have the high rates continued?
