Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question because not only is the population getting poorer, but women are getting poorer.
The face of homelessness is changing. It used to be mainly men, but now we are seeing more women, even though in their case it is more a matter of hidden homelessness. We also know that senior women are becoming poorer because their salaries were not as high as those of men.
Today, it is women who take leave because their salary is usually lower than that of their male spouse. The same goes for their pension fund, if they even have one. Women are getting poorer and are having a hard time finding housing that they can afford.
If we improved equity, namely pay equity, women could find decent housing, have a decent life, and avoid ending up in the street.
