In Quebec alone, it means 8,000 units that need immediate repair, and almost 4,000 units that need to be decontaminated. That is what happens when we wait. This also has to do with how precarious the program is. If, at the outset, the level of investment is insufficient to deal with certain conditions related to the climate or the transportation of materials, for example, a house built in Quebec City will not have the same value as a house built in a community accessible only by air.
Those technical aspects are therefore extremely important, but there is also the issue of funding, or rather investments. How is this projected over time? How do we ensure that we are able to address the population growth, already foreseeable with the data we have today?
Let me emphasize that there are huge repercussions in terms of education. Who can study in a house with 14 or 15 people when there should be four or five? That is the challenge today. Furthermore, we also have to look at issues related to social problems, promiscuity and health in general.
All these aspects merit consideration. That is why I was saying that, if we made targeted investments in housing, there would be positive effects in other areas in the long term.
