Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for their testimony before the finance committee this afternoon.
I'm going to start with Mr. Siddall. I'd also like to congratulate you for your service and hard work. For a minute I thought it was an April Fool's joke because I hadn't heard anything about your leaving your post. I'd like to wish you a great next chapter in your life, and thank you again for your service.
In your testimony, you spoke about the rapid housing initiative and that we had exceeded the target of 3,000 units and were able to construct just a little bit over 4,700 permanent affordable housing units for Canadian families. Can you comment on how we were able to extend the funding of the program beyond the original targets?
