Motion to end homelessness among veterans by 2025

OTTAWA — The House of Commons has supported a backbench MP’s bid to have the government work to end veterans homelessness after days of partisan bickering.
The motion from Ontario Liberal MP Neil Ellis asked his own government to craft a plan to end homelessness among veterans by 2025, in part by creating a subsidy similar to one in the United States that’s credited with helping to cut in half the number of homeless American veterans.
What MPs agreed to was to call on the government to deliver a plan by this time next year to meet the 2025 goal.
