Yes, it's 10% of the residential housing market and 1.5 million Canadians.
How long has the federal government been looking at this file? It's a long time. We have lots of policy on it. The problem isn't policy. We're policy rich and operations poor; that's the problem.
In 2016, we had the pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change, which had explicit direction in chapter 4 on how to mobilize adaptation. Nothing happened from that report. In 2018, we had adaptation and resilience measures round tables and reports. Those came out in 2018, and within six months, they had been shelved.
In 2023, we had the national adaptation strategy. It put out 26 targets to mobilize action on adaptation, 10 of which are to be realized before 2026 closes. We're going to miss virtually all of those.
The problem is that we have known solutions to known problems, but we cannot get the federal government to act, to mobilize in that direction. That's the problem.
