Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, when we went on our tour, we had the opportunity to speak directly with people in the treatment centres, and housing was the number one topic on their mind after sobriety. Many of them were very concerned about where they were going to live when they came out of the treatment facility and, particularly, that they not return to their living situation that they had been in prior to treatment because they found that it was not constructive. So there is a real desire on the part of people who have gone through treatment to obtain housing on their release.
The other point I want to make is that this just makes financial sense. The government is paying between $150 and $450 per person per day for these treatment facilities, and so to invest all of that money into helping people obtain their sobriety and then put them back into a situation which has been proven to be destructive for them just makes no sense. So, for me, it's really important that we look at a way to house people coming out of treatment programs so that they have a fair chance to retain their sobriety. Thank you.
