Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess just talking about homelessness initiatives and a plan, you know, it's something that's been going on for years. If it wasn't for this pandemic, we probably wouldn't have seen much change. I think we would have saw people still outside in the wintertime, you know, trying to find places to live, but -- so, you know, the pandemic, even though it was bad, it did bring to light some of the gaps that we have. And, you know -- and I don't think -- and I don't think we can -- you know, it -- it's not right to forget what those gaps are, and we got to move ahead.

You know, the cost to -- the cost to house somebody that's homeless right now and -- an estimated cost was probably I would say maybe 7 to $10,000 a month, and -- and that's just being conservative whereas if we were to be able to find a place for them, we're looking at maybe $1500 a month. So it's a big -- it's a big difference. And I guess what I'd like to see is that, you know, we -- we take a serious look at this and find ways that we can actually provide people without a home, provide them with some type of home. And when I say that, you know, we always see ads; we see articles; we see news stories on -- you know, on tiny homes, you know, clustered for seniors, for people who are -- for veterans, and even for homeless people. And I think that's something we have to look at. We have to -- we have to make that a priority in the communities, priority of this government. And, you know, we got to make sure that lands are available and set aside for something like that. Is that a -- is that something that the Minister's department is looking at for any time in the future? Thank you, Madam Chair.
