To the editor:
Re: "Courier mayoral debate," Oct. 21. The Courier's first question to Mayor Robertson regarding housing the homeless showed that you have bought Mr. Robertson's twisted characterization of the agreement with the province on the 14 sites. The agreement was to house those at risk of being homeless, such as the mentally ill, as well as those already on the street.
Filling up the 1,500 units with only the homeless, who are often very hard-tohouse, will raise the costs because of the greater support needed. Your question to Mr. Robertson and to his opponent, Suzanne Anton, should have been: How will you fund the additional costs if you get your way?
