Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions are still for Mr. Demers and Mr. Boulet.
Over the past few months, in committee and in the House, we have spent a lot of time studying the dramatic rise in real estate prices and the housing shortage. The government has frequently said that if there is not enough housing, it's because the process for municipal projects is too slow. You can find these comments in Hansard. It's almost a federal government leitmotif.
This is also reflected in the most recent budget, in which the minister announced that in order to ensure that the municipalities could build enough housing units, the government would link infrastructure funding, including public transportation, to measures taken by the provinces, the territories and the municipalities to increase housing supply.
What's your opinion on this?
