Thank you.
Through you, Chair, I want to thank all the witnesses for coming today. It's greatly appreciated that you can share your insights on our shelter system.
I would like to start with Ms. Matheson.
You mentioned that shelters are not designed for current needs. For those individuals fleeing violence who are housed alongside those dealing with severe mental health needs and addictions, how are shelters set up to take on responsibilities that go beyond what they were designed for, particularly when it comes to protecting those in need of additional supports while respecting those fleeing an environment of violence and addiction?
