Mr. Speaker, it is not all that complex. Social housing has been gutted in the country. Welfare assistance is not what it used to be. There was a time in this country when people were not homeless because they had enough money not to be homeless and they were not being kicked out of psychiatric institutions in the name of deinstitutionalization, which is another form of cost cutting.
When will the government bring all levels of government together? Let us have the equivalent of the effort that was put into the social union to return this country to the kind of country it used to be, a country where we do not have thousands and thousands of homeless Canadians.
