I write to express my grave concerns about the plan reported in the media to escalate the decampment of East Hastings Street.

Today, the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are releasing the terms of a human rights settlement. The settlement puts in place a plan for measures to address and prevent systemic discrimination at the RCMP Training Academy at Depot Division, in Regina. This settlement is the result of a complaint filed by a cadet, who identified as a Black Canadian, and who attended the RCMP Training Academy.

I write to express my grave concerns about the new bylaw under consideration by City Council to establish a centralized homeless encampment at Moccasin Flats.

The newly unveiled Federal Budget is a sorry disappointment. It completely misses the mark on addressing the most pressing housing crisis this country has ever seen. There are no new ideas, and not nearly enough new money announced for housing. The homelessness crisis was not even mentioned. This is simply unacceptable.
