Thanks very much for the question. Indeed, the housing accelerator fund is being implemented right now with a number of municipalities signing on. The target for that program is 100,000 units. Its uptake has been quite positive.
The national housing strategy, turning to another thing, is not in the legislation, per se, but that is part of the government's policy and program delivery on housing. The national housing strategy is an $82-billion group of programs and initiatives over 10 years that aim to put in place 160,000 new housing units, to renovate 300,000 units and to lift 530,000 Canadian families out of core housing need.
The departmental legislation, by joining housing with infrastructure and communities, really does enhance the ability for the government to receive advice from the public service that connects things that are intrinsically connected. How do you build housing? You need infrastructure. That's one of the key ingredients. You need to make sure that the people who are in that housing have access to transportation so that they can get to their jobs. That relies on transit, among other things.
Putting these things together allows for the interconnection of programming and allows for infrastructure funding to have housing considerations and occasionally housing conditions brought in. It really does, I think, put us on a solid footing for future programs as they are implemented and rolled out.
