I apologise that I had to step out and I am sorry if I cover ground that has already been covered. There are substance abuse issues across all of our marginalised groups and minority groups. Decriminalising that space will go a very long way in helping us to engage openly and honestly about those issues without fear.

Some of the witnesses have called for ethnic identifiers. It is something I have also looked at to measure LGBT homelessness and LGBT youth homelessness. Given the discrimination that exists in our society and in the structures of the State, are the witnesses confident that ethnic identifiers are the best policy in measuring good data?
