Thank you.
Through you, Madam Chair, one thing I'm very disturbed about is the comment you made, Dr. Benn-John, that one woman is killed every single week. I know those stats are correct. I heard it during my undercover investigation.
Everyone here has said that we lack housing, and this is really troubling me. There was $8.35 billion, in 2015-16, spent on professional services and consultants. In 2024-25, $19.6 billion of public money was spent on consultants. That's an increase of 135%.
Do you feel that this money could have been better used? We know we need housing. We know we need to help the shelters. We know we need to provide housing for these children and these families. Would you not agree that we have enough evidence?
We've had this meeting many times. Let's forget about the consultants. You guys are the experts. Let's give you the money so that we can build the houses. Do you agree, Dr. Benn-John?
