Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My first question will be for Mr. Bourque. We've talked a lot about housing, and increasing the supply, but it seems that this conversation has been focused mainly on urban areas.
What can you tell us about the challenges that many rural communities are experiencing? Especially during the pandemic and post-pandemic period, we are seeing an increase in the number of people going into smaller regions in order to telework. However, even prior to the pandemic, there was already a big increase in the price of housing, and rents, especially, are very low in rural communities.
What can you tell us about the solution for rural communities?
