Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Laflamme, thank you for your response earlier.
You and Ms. Raza made the case that the government is investing money supposedly to create affordable housing, when in fact it isn't only failing to house the most vulnerable people, it's helping to drive up current prices. It doesn't make sense.
However, two years ago, the government launched the rapid housing initiative, or RHI. This program isn't inherently bad. The initial funding was $1 billion. An additional $1.5 billion was invested later. A good feature of this program was that it helped develop rapid housing.
Ms. Laflamme, as you know, in social housing programs, federations and co‑operatives, it can take five, seven, eight, or 12 years to build the units.
Do you think that the RHI is a good program and that it should be promoted and funded more? If not, what are the solutions for building social housing quickly in Quebec and Canada?
