Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll jump right into it. I would like to quote the Auditor General. She said in her opening remarks, “One of my biggest concerns is the lack of federal accountability for achieving Canada's target to reduce chronic homelessness by half by 2028.” I echo the importance of accountability in this committee.
Second to my point, the national housing advocate uses the word “failing” in her response and audit of the work of CMHC and the national housing strategy. How can I or members of this committee or Canadians be satisfied with the responses provided here today?
I'm not satisfied with the responses the witnesses presented to us today. I believe they're unsatisfactory to the core of the mandate of the Auditor General's report. We didn't hear, in fact, an admission of failure on two accounts in particular, which are data and the actual outcomes.
I have no further questions to ask. I'd just encourage folks to make really certain that they know how important it is to Canadians to end homelessness.
