I appreciate your question very much.
Obviously, as I've stated, housing affordability, including affordable and social housing and community housing like supportive and indigenous housing, is a top priority. So too is the spectrum of housing affordability issues playing out in our communities across the country.
One of our top recommendations for addressing the housing affordability crisis is centred around this question of how better to work together. The recommendation from FCM is to launch a housing forum that would bring together provinces, territories, municipalities and the federal government for a conversation, given the respective levers that each order of government has to bear on the issue, through FCM, in order to have analysis and action on key issues that affect housing affordability, from speculation, demand-side measures and supply needs to short-term rentals and supply and data gaps. There's really a suite of things within the various tool boxes of the various orders of government. There's a need to initiate an intergovernmental conversation in a more deliberate way around the housing affordability crisis through the mechanism of a forum.
We also have some specific recommendations that are really aimed at fostering this kind of a conversation, including the development of an affordability indicator in the housing space. This is all the type of work that we would recommend be vetted and initiated through an intergovernmental approach, through a housing forum.
