Mr. Speaker, all levels of government have a solemn responsibility to respond to the scourge that is homelessness. That is why this federal government has responded to the issue by putting forward, among other things, $250 million for encampment response, something the Government of Alberta recently committed to matching. That means getting people out of camps and into homes. That is on top of 87,000 people being taken off the street as a result of the Reaching Home program, this government's signature response to homelessness that the Conservatives have committed to cut.
In the House of Commons on November 22nd, 2024. See this statement in context.
