Thank you for your comments, Mr. Trudel.
It's also important to recognize that we have an agreement with the Quebec government on funds to accelerate housing construction. It's a unique idea.
We are working together to meet the priorities that the Quebec government outlined to us. We've invested $900 million and the Quebec government has invested the same amount. It's incredible.
Organizations that want to build affordable housing are using a single program that combines federal and Quebec government funding. This will encourage more jurisdictions to use a similar strategy.
It won't be the exact same solution for every program we use. However, we're making changes to our housing programs, both for supply in the market and for affordable housing, so we can work with other jurisdictions or potentially organizations that have the capacity to build a large number of homes and do it with a portfolio approach. This way, we can say to a provincial government, for example, that we'll use some of our funds to flow them through a program where they attach theirs to the same opportunity for people who will build the houses. We're making program changes to that effect now.
I don't know that it will be appropriate with every single program—it depends on what complementary programs provincial governments have in place—but with both the housing accelerator fund in Quebec and our other programs designed to boost supply, we're moving toward a portfolio approach to unlock the complementarity that exists when we have that strategy.
