Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think the nation was horrified when we learned about just how many homeless veterans there are in our communities. I understand that municipalities, the people on the ground, have the best capabilities to identify those folks. They identify, then the province kicks in for the medical care and then VAC or the feds kick in about how to deal with this.
It seems to me that the federal government, specifically VAC, should be there as soon as that person is found. Due to federal policy, we have an incredible, critical, and tragic shortage of housing. It's just not there. Should federal responsibility kick in much sooner, as soon as that individual is found?
