It's a really critical question.
The good news is that in many Canadian cities, we've already crossed the Rubicon in terms of recognizing that we need higher-density development. That is for two reasons. One is that newcomers are obviously priced out of housing, but it's also that people are seeing the next generation of Canadians being priced out of housing and are recognizing that we need a fundamentally different approach.
As-of-right zoning, which is being facilitated in some ways through the housing accelerator fund requirements and pressures from the Minister of Housing today, is having a profound impact on upending exclusionary zoning across Canada.
In Toronto we did this almost two years ago, but Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and some other smaller municipalities have already followed suit. They are now allowing up to four units on a single lot. I think we will see additional municipalities embrace that. That is a very incremental form of change.
We also really need to be building significant density around our transit infrastructure to ensure that new Canadians have the choice of getting where they need to go without a car.
