The review will collect testimony from people living in encampments along with experts in housing and human rights, Marie-Josée Houle says

The federal housing advocate is launching a review of homeless encampments in Canada, calling the situation a human rights crisis fuelled in part by the failure of all levels of government to provide adequate housing.

The advocate says she is “very concerned” some governments are not taking necessary steps to protect people experiencing homelessness and calls the dismantlement of camps during winter a serious violation of human rights.

'Human rights crisis'....LOL!!!

Trudeau's unabsorbable 500k/yr immig. is cruel madness in the midst of a housing supply crisis he KNOWS prov's have no quick or easy fix for. He denies a basic need, affordable housing,to millions, causing subsistence living,financial ruin,&homelessness.This is human rights abuse

Time to get rid of the federal housing advocate.

Send all homeless after the money that could've helped them - to Ukraine

It is a human right. hooverville

Trudeau's bringing in a million more immigrants this year after doubling it to 500k yearly in his first term. Likely this isn't helping housing affordability, healthcare waits, or classroom sizes but it would be racist to say any of those things.
