Dear Ms. May,
I am writing with deep respect and admiration.
I have watched your work in the House of Commons for years. Your preparation, your integrity, and your willingness to speak truth — even when inconvenient — have consistently stood out. I have long supported and voted Green because of that leadership.
This is why I am writing to you now.
Across British Columbia — Vancouver, Surrey, Abbotsford, Hope — thousands of people remain unhoused. Women are being turned away from shelters. Residents are sleeping outside in a province as wealthy as ours.
I have personally been turned away from shelter twice.
Governments continue to announce 10-year strategies. Units promised for 2030. Plans for 2035.
But homelessness is not a 10-year issue. It is a 6-month emergency.
I have sent an open letter to federal MPs, provincial MLAs, and municipal governments requesting one simple action:
A joint, public, recorded forum including all three levels of government to answer one question:
What is the 6-month plan to house the people currently experiencing homelessness?
Not projections. Not future builds. Six months.
Housing responsibility is divided across federal funding (through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation), provincial housing programs and health services, and municipal zoning and land use. When they operate separately, people fall through the cracks.
You have consistently demonstrated the courage to raise uncomfortable truths in Parliament. I am asking if you would consider calling publicly for coordinated emergency housing action — not as a partisan issue, but as a human one.
This is a moment where leadership matters.
I believe this is where all parties must move beyond long-term promises and demand immediate coordination.
Thank you for your years of service and your example of principled leadership.
Respectfully,
Tina Winterlik
