I think we've talked about this multiple times with other witnesses. It's that connection piece that has to happen for people to see people. That's where that discussion and education opens up, and this goes to Mr. Boyce's point about going into seniors homes, and to my colleague Ms. Roberts' point. When we see the person, it dissolves a lot of that tension or anger.
I will hammer this point: When people can't afford to live, they're not even in a position to listen or hear or be regulated. I'm just getting a message from my community right now. We have the highest rate of food insecurity for children in history—in history. If you're a child and you're different, if you learn differently, your gender is different, or your sexuality is different, and your parents can't afford to live, they're fighting and they're stressed out. The incidence or risk of domestic violence is going to go up. The desperation that happens when you can't afford to feed your family bleeds into all facets.
There's been a 251% increase in hate crimes in this country since Justin Trudeau took office. That's not a coincidence. It's also seen the lowest GDP per capita growth. I would love to see people be able to have this education and understanding and be open to these things, but we have to ensure that people can eat and house themselves.
