Thank you.

My next question would be for ESDC.

I know that the Parliamentary Budget Officer reported that an average of $118 million a year was spent on homelessness programs. That was bumped up to $357 million a year, yet homelessness is on the rise. This speaks to the importance of tracking and accounting for where the money is spent.

Mr. Tremblay, can you explain to us where that money has gone, if homelessness is, in fact, on the rise?
