Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I too would like to thank the witnesses. Thanks to them, we're learning new things again today.
Ms. Cooper, in your opening remarks, you talked a lot about housing, safe housing, and fighting violence and poverty.
We recently learned that cutbacks were made to the only federal program addressing the issue of homelessness, called “Reaching Home: Canada's Homelessness Strategy”. At a time when homelessness is a problem across the country, we should invest more in social and community housing and to fight homelessness. You'll tell me that the issue of housing and homelessness is also important in your communities. Therefore, what message is the government sending by making cuts to this program, which has helped so many people out of homelessness?
