Good morning.
My name is Michel Côté, and I am the general manager of Immeuble populaire de Québec. I also represent the Fédération des OBNL d'habitation.
I would briefly like to address two points.
Funding is available for community support for veterans, but not for housing. Housing funding is transferred to the Quebec government but isn't earmarked for veterans. I find that somewhat sad. We have trouble providing housing that is intended for them. We mix them in with other clienteles. They have specific problems and needs that are important to consider.
In the next budget, I'd also like you to take into account the need to provide new funding to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. We need a federal co‑investment and initial funding. We need that in order to start up projects. CMHC's coffers have unfortunately been empty for quite some time.
Thank you.
