Thank you.
In more recent information since our brief was prepared, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports that the number of new non-profit homes funded by the federal government in 2013 was 546, which is the lowest since records were started in 1978, and the number of new housing co-ops funded by the federal government in 2013 was 0, which is the same number it's been since 1994.
Our brief does set out what we think are practical ways that the federal government can begin to reverse some of these issues: make sensible investments in terms of housing infrastructure; and deliver the benefits directly to Canadians, who on a personal basis will benefit from good housing while the community and indeed the economy will also benefit from these investments.
I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you.
