Thanks very much.

Thank you very much for this bill. I will be supporting this bill, but there are a few things I want to get some data and information on.

In the preamble on page 1, in lines 24 through 29, you indicate:

Whereas the effects of poverty and vulnerability are exacerbated by limited access for women and their families to affordable housing,...

Can you give me data on that? I recognize it is an issue, and they're dealing with different issues, but what exactly are you referring to as limited access?

See context to find out what was said next.
