CMHC administers the housing accelerator fund but doesn't have a history of delivering that type of programming. You alluded to that. With CMHC being put in charge of social and affordable housing programs, I worry the agency lacks the capacity it needs and, for pragmatic reasons, will have to focus on applications from major urban centres. Since their applications involve larger housing projects, CMHC would be able to allocate fewer resources to support the construction of housing. That could mean that smaller municipalities are overlooked.
Do you share my concern? From your comments, I assume you have a good level of support from CMHC. What are your thoughts on what I just said?
