Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for coming, Dr. Jenion.
My question is through you, Chair, to the witness.
I was looking at your comment regarding governments not having the level of financial resources. However, I notice in your statement that you didn't finish the actual quote, and if you don't mind I'll just read that into the record here:
Governments do not have the level of financial resources required to fund these programs in a long-term sustainable way. Leveraging new partnerships that can sustain successful projects once government time-limited funding ends is key to ensuring the public safety needs of the communities we serve. Our aim is to implement effective and efficient social innovation programs that can become sustainable.
It's interesting. We've actually heard from a number of organizations that have talked about these new innovations, bond programs and so on. It's interesting that there are people who can actually think outside the box.
To me, there's innovation here. There are opportunities for organizations. We've heard a number of our colleagues bringing forward some of these innovations. If we think about Habitat for Humanity and the homes they build, one of my colleagues specifically talked about that in a project in his riding. I would like him to restate that at some point in time here.
I don't know how much time I have, Mr. Chair.
