Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The problem at the federal level is that every municipality with fewer than 100,000 residents is considered rural. That makes no sense. It doesn't represent the realities of rural regions. In my riding, two municipalities, Saint-Paul and Saint-Donat, had access to the Rapid Housing Initiative to provide social housing for seniors. The criticisms of this initiative have to do with the fact that a tender call was launched when the municipalities were not expecting it. Those that already had a project in mind were able to submit it immediately and obtain funds. It all happened a bit too quickly. The municipalities need to he informed about it earlier.
Mr. Demers and Mr. Boulet, do you have a final comment for the committee? If not, Mr. Hayne mentioned the luxury tax on boats worth $250,000 and over. Mr. Demers, in your part of the country there are some big lakes. Is this something you've heard about?
If you could answer that or make a final comment about what you'd like from the federal government, we'd appreciate it.
