To our folks at Finance, I wanted to ask if we could get information here at this committee, and I'm happy to have it presented in a way that doesn't name proponents, if that's problematic for some reason.
We know there are a number of projects that have been approved under the national housing strategy with non-profits that were in process prior to September 14, 2023. We know, anecdotally, that a number of those have been put on pause because the escalation in the interest rate has meant that they can no longer proceed with those projects.
I'd like to know how many such projects there are—projects that have been approved for federal funding under any national housing strategy program and have indicated they are not able to proceed, given the state of interest rates—and the estimated costs of applying the GST rebate to those projects. I'm wondering if we can get a commitment to have the department bring that information to committee, or send it to committee. I'm not suggesting a second appearance. Preferably, we'd have it before we do clause-by-clause of the bill, which I believe is to take place on Wednesday.
