@WMTDebatePro@OJEN_ROEJ@ProvostLaw For a short solution we can let encampment be as they are not infringing on others rights and work more toward improving shelter environments so the homeless actually feel safe to live in a shelter.
@WMTDebatePro@OJEN_ROEJ I understand the purpose of these tiny homes, but it would take years to fulfill them, everything comes with a cost. The reason why the homeless are in encampments in the first place is that they have nowhere to go.
@WMTDebatePro@OJEN_ROEJ I like the idea of tiny homes, but at the same time the funding to execute this would be expensive, to me, it looks like one tiny home per person and that would take many years to complete as there are hundreds of homeless people in Hamilton.
@akanagar4202 What I meant, is that it is not their fault. If shelters are not providing a safe environment then they have no choice but to live in tent encampments to provide themselves with the safety they deserve.
We can all agree to sections 7&15 were violated by this law. Poor people do not belong in the street. It is the government's fault for creating unsafe unhygienic and overcrowded shelter homes that force the poor to live on the streets. So is it really their fault?

I totally agree, if we are to evict homeless people we should provide them with an alternate place to live in. By evicting the homeless, they could possibly find another spot to camp and the cycle continues.

I agree, it is almost like a cycle! Homeless people are not objects that we can move around whenever we want. They need a safe place to stay, and the government does not show much interest to find a proper solution.
@adepew5183@OJEN_ROEJ@ProvostLaw Are you saying that the homeless are not a part of the public? This is the reason why it breaks section 15 of the charter because their interest in safety is not equal.
@hannahhthompso1@griffinslaw22@OJEN_ROEJ@ProvostLaw So you are saying they are choosing to live in parks?
Shelters have inadequate safety, it is always overcrowded they have the right to feel safe and if that means living in a park then why not? Also if it is not our responsibility then who's responsibility is it?

At the peak of Covid when we were all told by the government to stay home, why can't that be applied to the homeless? Tent encampments were home to them because they had nowhere else to go.
