It's certainly becoming more time pressing. Low-income households, housing co-operatives, residents of social housing across the country need certainty about the future of assistance that's offered to low-income households, so they can continue to remain in place, and continue to enjoy the benefits of living in a housing co-operative.
Through our ongoing engagement with officials at CMHC and with the Government of Canada, we're very optimistic that we're moving in the right direction. Specifically, what we're looking for, and what we're hoping to see very soon, is a very clear declaration that there will be continuity of assistance to low-income households living in housing co-operatives.
It's important that this is announced soon, so that the implementation or renewal of this assistance is delivered in a timely and seamless manner, because as you can appreciate, if you're a low-income Canadian living in a housing co-op, you know your co-op will no longer be receiving a subsidy as of March 31. You need to start thinking about how you're going to pay for your housing charge if there's a significant increase. Do you need to move? Do you need to move into your parent's home? It's important that it's timely, seamless, and is offered at the same breadth and depth of support as before.
