First, an inn is not housing. That's not a solution. This type of housing exists to respond to emergencies. We really need to focus on investments in housing.
In the regions you mentioned, a lot of housing has been converted to Airbnb rentals. This is more financialization. Measures must be put in place to stop or slow down investments in housing in order to make a profit. Financialization must stop.
In the Gaspé, there is not even a place to house employees working in tourism because all the housing and houses that belonged to families have been bought or converted to short-term rentals. We see that everywhere, but especially in the regions. During the pandemic, it was a good place to invest because it was a very stable industry during a period of economic instability. Again, this is financialization.
When we talk about expenditures, we absolutely have to target affordable, permanent housing that will be accessible to the people who need it most.
