Mr. Speaker, whether it is my community of London, Ontario, or any Canadian community, where homelessness exists, it is unacceptable. It is a tragic situation. Encampments should not exist. When the Conservatives stand up and raise these points, they do a good thing. What is not good is that they do not have a plan. It is all a sideshow. It is an act on the other side. They do not care about people who are on the street. If they did, they would have something to say on the matter of homelessness. Instead, they use people who are homeless as props here in the House of Commons. Conservative members will film them in encampments and post on social media, but they have no plan. They do not care.
In the House of Commons on September 24th, 2024. See this statement in context.
