Thank you, Madam Chair.
Through you, my first question is for Ms. Rachelle Walker.
Before I ask my question, I want to say that you guys are doing an amazing job. You're not just helping women. You are heroes, because it takes people like you to dedicate your lives to helping other women. I want to thank you. You deserve it.
Here is my question, Ms. Walker. This committee continues to hear heartbreaking testimony from women who want to leave violent situations but simply cannot find affordable housing or shelter space. After nearly a decade of Liberal housing strategies and spending announcements, shelters like yours are still overwhelmed and operating at capacity.
What are you seeing on the front lines? Why are women still falling through the cracks, and what should this government do to help?
Did we lose her? Oh, my God. Maybe she's upset.
