Finance committee  Yes, I would agree with that.

Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  I really appreciate the question. I want to clarify that, across the country, there is a mandated point-in-time count of people experiencing homelessness. Having worked in housing loss prevention, it's really hard to measure, especially in areas in the north where homelessness is not quite as visible, as you would have noted in my Inuit housing condition report.

Finance committee  I am not in a position to answer that question today. That is not something that is counted in Canada.

Finance committee  No.

Finance committee  The number of people in homeless encampments is not something that is counted in Canada.

Finance committee  No.
