Thank you very much to the witnesses for being with us today.
Ms. Nizigama, we may have an opportunity to speak again.
Ms. Matheson, I want to come back to your experience with children and families. I've mentioned this before, but I highlighted the awarding of a children's literature prize to a book entitled La maison cachette. This book tells the story of an eight-year-old girl who, along with her little brother, goes to find their mother at a shelter they call “La maison cachette”, or the hideaway house, to get her away from the violence she wants to escape. What their mother is going through is described from the perspective of an eight-year-old child. To avoid giving the story away, I will simply say that there is a birthday in the book. There's not just one birthday, but two, which the family tries to mark with the staff at the shelter, who do their best to create moments of happiness for them. It's not easy for families to go through this.
I will now turn to you, Ms. Brazeau and Ms. Brien. You have spoken at length about Build Canada Homes and what you expect from that organization.
I'm also on the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities, which studied Bill C‑20, an act respecting the establishment of Build Canada Homes. At this point, we have been told that, to simplify the process, Quebec would have the final say. In other words, you would have to make representations to the Société d'habitation du Québec.
From what I'm hearing in your concerns, that is not entirely the message you've received so far. Is that correct?
