Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of the Housing Corporation.

Mr. Speaker, roughly 30 percent of children in the child welfare system were apprehended due to exposure to domestic violence. But in many of our communities, the shortage of housing means a parent cannot move to a new home. Because of the community residency policy, it also means that a family or a parent cannot put their name on a waitlist of another community. This jeopardizes the safety of families and risks continuing cycles of apprehension.

So my question for the Minister is does the Minister agree that we must prohibit the apprehension of children on the basis of poverty and access to housing? Thank you.
