One issue is that the replenishment of some of those funds—which, as you say, contribute to building more affordable housing in Canada—announced in the fall economic statement is deferred for another two years. In the meantime, there is a considerable need. Steve Pomeroy is a housing policy expert in Canada. He said that, for every one unit we're building of affordable or social housing, we're losing 15. It seems to me that, at a relatively low cost and by attaching a rider to this initiative, we could ensure that some of the units the government is already bragging about in their numbers on affordable housing actually get built.
If you're not prepared to do that, is the government going to take those units out of its talking points for how many units of affordable and social housing the national housing strategy is building, or can we do something to save those units and ensure they get built so that the talking points are true?
