Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and congratulate her on her election. She talked about a major issue in her riding: homelessness.
I will explain to my colleague and to those watching at home today that the word “homelessness” does not appear in the Speech from the Throne. It was there in 2020 and again in 2021, but there is no mention of it in 2025. It magically disappeared, as if the problem had been completely solved. However, the reality on the ground is very different. Between 2018 and 2022, homelessness in Quebec skyrocketed, increasing by 44%.
How is it that the throne speech makes absolutely no mention of such a major problem in Quebec that was recognized by the previous government?
