Thank you, Chair. I appreciate that.
Perhaps I can come back to Ms. Smith. I think it's important that we go back to the housing insecurity she talked about. We know that at this point, about 16.2% women are serving our country, and yet on the other side, we're seeing that about 30% of the veterans who are unhoused or are in housing insecurity are women. That's telling me that something is significantly not working on the VAC side that we need to address.
I'm wondering if you could share with the committee a little bit about your difficulties in accessing services and connecting with VAC when you had housing insecurity. Perhaps you could explain where the gaps are so that we can start looking at how we can see that remedied.
