Madam Chair, the hon. member points out the challenge of access to safe and affordable housing that meets the needs of each and every Canadian. At the end of the day, different people in the housing spectrum have different types of needs.
There is absolutely a need for more deeply affordable housing. That is why we are investing more federal resources into building more co-op housing, by investing $1.5 billion in a new generation of co-op units. We are providing supports to municipalities through the housing accelerator fund, to build more housing of all types, including affordable housing, but also bringing forward investments in the national housing co-investment fund, to free up more affordable housing for Canadians, as well as reinvesting in the third round of the rapid housing initiative.
All of these measures are a recognition of the importance of deeply affordable housing to meet the needs of Canadians.
