Thank you.
Welcome to the witnesses.
Mayor Guthrie, if I may, I want to zoom in on you. Certainly I congratulate you on the work you're doing in Guelph. I think it's absolutely tremendous.
I want to speak about the barriers in housing construction at the municipal level, first about the restrictive zoning rules and permitting delays.
How will the agreements with the federal government on the accelerator fund help negotiations with municipalities? How can we break down some of those very clear barriers through that accelerator fund in terms of what's being asked of municipalities so that they can be successful in receiving the funding?
