Thank you. Does the Minister wish to bring witnesses into the House?

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. McNeely. Next we have Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Next, we have Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, housing is one of the core critical challenges facing the 18th Legislative Assembly. Homelessness plagues our communities, whether rural and remote or our regional centres. Public housing tenants face lengthy wait lists. We do not yet have enough longterm care beds for our seniors and elders.

Today I want to talk about a housing issue more likely to be hidden, but no less likely to be harmful and costly: the housing needs of women and children escaping family violence. Research into women's homelessness in Canada's North, including our territory, is sobering...

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that that concludes the Legislative Assembly?

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Cochrane.

In that case, we could wait until the end. All right. Next we have Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Cochrane.
