MOTION ON NOTICE Addiction should not be a life sentence. The status quo is failing.

That, given that, homelessness, addiction, and mental health challenges continue to have significant impacts on individuals, families, and communities across Canada. That communities across the country continue experiencing rising homelessness, ongoing substance use harms, and increasing pressure on frontline services. That the current approaches have not delivered the outcomes Canadians need. That Canadians are demanding a renewed focus on prevention, early intervention, treatment, recovery, housing stability, and community reintegration. With measurable outcomes that help individuals achieve long-term health, stability, and independence. And that it is important that federal investments support measurable outcomes, accountability, and access to services that help Canadians achieve long-term recovery, stability, and independence. That the committee report to the House its recommendations that the Government of Canada evaluate whether current approaches are achieving their intended outcomes and prioritize investment that demonstrates measurable results in treatment, recovery, housing stability, and long-term independence. And that the House administer existing federal initiatives and funding commitments in a way that prioritizes stronger access to treatment, recovery, and mental health supports. Expand access to stable housing options, including transitional and supportive housing where appropriate. Prevention and early interventions that reduce the risk of homelessness and substance use harms. Measurable outcomes, accountability, and long-term support for individuals seeking stability, recovery, and independence. And collaboration among federal, provincial, territorial, municipal, indigenous, and community partners to improve outcomes for Canadians affected by homelessness, addiction, and related social challenges. Thank you.
