Thank you so much.
Mr. Siddall, thank you for being here, and thanks to Ms. Bowers for being here for a very important discussion.
This won't surprise you: the number one issue during the last campaign was affordable housing. With this pandemic, coming out of it, it will continue to be a top issue for the residents in my riding of Davenport.
We've had a number of non-profit organizations want to help build some affordable housing options in the riding, but they have found the process a little bit onerous, a little bit long and not easy to engage in.
I heard you say we're trying to create 125,000 new units over the next 10 years. I know our need is substantially higher than that.
We're now in the era of agility and flexibility and trying to do the impossible. What can the federal government do at this point to help CMHC accelerate more affordable housing options?
