Mr. Chair, we are in very early stages here, and despite the recent public controversy that's arisen over the homelessness issue, this is really the first time we've ever cut our teeth on anything that's anywhere near to controversial. I'm not deterred by this. I don't take it personally. I'm dismayed that I might have come across as being disrespectful to the minister. This is really the first time we've had to address something that is a level 3 or a level 4 type of intervention.
I'm still very optimistic. We have done an internal review of how we treated this issue, with a view to putting some measures in place—because we're developing our doctrine as we go along—so that hopefully this type of thing won't happen in the future. It's very much counter-productive.
Aside from those, resources, of course.... We have a huge flow of information, and calling for those 10 FTEs that were apportioned to the role of ombudsman but are misemployed.... That is something that I have no hesitation in saying we could use right away, and it would be unnoticed to the government of the day.
I think we will get over this homelessness problem and will establish a working relationship. I would definitely come forward in the future if there were anything we really needed.
