If I have to wait seven months for the loan from CMHC, like I do for coinvestment, it will be ineffective. It needs to be community led. Give the money to organizations like ours to go out and purchase the buildings ourselves, as opposed to my bringing you the building and then your taking seven months to decide if we can buy it or not.
Yes, it's needed, but it needs to be different from how the current programs are structured.
