Mr. Speaker, I do not know where my colleague is getting his information, but I would encourage him to refresh his search skills, because then he would see that we added 88,000 new jobs to the economy, that the cost of rent is starting to drop and that wages are on the rise. However, we know that too many Canadians are still unable to cope with the high cost of living. We cut taxes for 22 [more]

I'll continue on this. In a previous conversation, you and I talked about the cost. The provinces have a limited amount of fiscal capacity, but there are costs of homelessness outside of the human costs—which are the most important—in terms of hospital stays, ER visits and incarceration. How can we better make the case there? Do you have data that you could share with the committee on that, or [more]

Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Joseph. As we can see, this is quite an emotional moment. I would like to thank all the witnesses who have shared their experiences with us today.

We're trying to be better at integrating and [more]

That battle marked a turning point. It helped to preserve our [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am curious about something. If the Conservatives are so constructive, I would like the member to tell me, of the hundreds of hours the Conservatives spent speaking on this bill in committee, how many minutes, because, yes, we are talking in terms of minutes, were spent discussing the actual subject at hand.
