There are 3.5 million new homes needed to meet demand by 2030. We have to triple the current number of housing starts. We've had the lowest number since 1972, and we've actually dropped from last year as opposed to tripling. I hate to be depressing, but I'd say the most realistic part is that it's going to get worse, not better, at the rate we're going in terms of the actual idea versus the reality of implementation.
Mr. Bureaux, perhaps I can ask a question, in my remaining time, about student capacity. I mean on a campus, for example, in terms of the admissions you have. You would obviously factor in the number of faculty you have and the classroom space you have. Do you use anything in terms of the housing available, both on campus and off campus, to determine...? I mean not just for international but for all students, whether they're Canadian or international. Is that ever a factor in what you do and use for admissions numbers year to year?
Where I'm going with that is towards the siloed approach, in that very often you can't tap into funds directly to help build more housing on or off campus, yet it's a major factor and we have people declining to go or not being able to go because of that factor.
